YELLOW UMBRELLA

ALLEZ LES JAUNES!

About Me

Yellow Umbrella is a sensation!
Each and every evening, the seven-piece around singer/ keysman Jens Strohschnieder transforms into a grooving monster that, regardless of the most sweaty and steamy situations, continues to stay immaculately dressed.
The handsome group has perfected its trademark sound of Jamaican and Eastern-European influences and turned this sound into six albums of original songs: Songs that, heard only once!, stay in your heart and can never be forgotten, oh yeah.
So dress to the nines and off you go,
With your friends to the Yellow Umbrella-Show!
