About Me


Thank you to my wife Sabine for making most of the pictures on this site.ESTHER & THE PAINKILLERS: Singer/Songwriter/Pop/80´s/Indie/60´s.A singer plays a semi-acoustic guitar without plectrum and uses different sound effects on each song.She is accompanied by a guitarist who plays an electric 12-string guitar and a drummer.Sometimes the guitarist sings or the singer plays accordeon.The music is presented live with a lot of passion and feeling.The lyrics are in german or english, most of them melancholic but there are funny moments too.(Lovesongs, Heartbreak Songs, Songs for Survival, Songs for Goin´out, Songs about new views of the sense of life.)For booking a concert send a message and make an offer.We play between 30-90 minutes depending if we have to play as support band or main act.Carsten plays also solo concerts betweeen 30-45 minutes where he performs his favourite cover versions.For set lists see PAST CONCERTS: blog entry.Singer/Songwriter/Pop/80´s/Indie/60´s.Eine Songwriterin spielt auf einer halbakustischen Gitarre ohne Plektrum mit unterschiedlichen Effekten, begleitet von einem Gitarristen der eine elektrische 12-saitige Gitarre spielt sowie einem Schlagzeuger.Manchmal singt auch der Gitarrist oder die Sängerin spielt Akkordeon.Die daraus entstehende Mischung wird mit sehr viel Gefühl der Musiker vorgetragen.Die eigenen Texte sind auf deutsch oder englisch, meist melancholisch, haben aber auch lustige Momente.(Liebeslieder, Lieder über Liebeskummer, Überlebenslieder, Ausgehlieder, Lieder über neue Einsichten in einen Sinn des Lebens.)Für Konzertanfragen bitte Nachricht mit Angebot schicken.Wir spielen zwischen 30-90 Minuten je nachdem ob wir als Vorgruppe oder als Hauptband spielen.Carsten macht auch Solokonzerte zwischen 30-45 Minuten Dauer wo er seine Lieblingscoverversionen spielt.Für Setlisten siehe PAST CONCERTS: Blog Eintrag.
