Sounds Like: Robert Oberbeck – Troubadour for a New MillenniumRobert Oberbeck is an Award Winning German singer/songwriter with a human perspective that searches for global common ground. He writes about the average person: desperate romantics with large souls, trapped in small towns or cities with the memories of the lives they once dreamed about. He searches for what is real in a person’s doubts, beliefs, faith and loves. His ability to capture the essence of these emotions is extremely uplifting and empowering.
Listening to his new “Ghosts†album is like discovering an old suitcase in your loft that is filled with treasured photographs, old love letters and dusty memories. It is about the realisation that these “ghosts†are constantly a part of who you are.
From Germany to Italy, Spain to England, solo, with his band or with artists like Elliott Murphy, Chuck Prophet or Thorsten Wingenfelder (Fury in the Slaughterhouse), over hundreds of gigs and television appearances in the last five years, Robert has honed his music on stages from the smallest of pubs to the largest of open air festivals.
