Day" was played in a talent-show
on MTV Europe for several months. From New York to California, Boston to Nashville, Gerd
performed on many live stages throughout the years and
recorded with celebreties like members of the Garth
Brook's Band as well as with members of Gloria Estefan's
band, the legendary "Miami Sound Machine". Being titled "Honorary Local" as well as"The Keys Favorite
German Son" by his fast-growing fanbase in the US, it made
it easy for him to decide to make Key West,FL his winter
home. People love Gerd's original songs, especially the
popular "Florida Keys Song" that can also be found on his
latest CD "Live in Key West". It's already his 16th CD and
contains a nice mix of original songs and classics by some
of his favorite artists like Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen,
Bryan Adams or even Led Zeppelin. During his live shows you can see he puts his heart and
soul into every song, providing a concert atmosphere by
using the latest sound equipment and lights that comple-
ment his passionate performance without taking away from
the roots of the songs. People have said: "The way he
performs some of the coversongs sounds even better than
the originals". His very own version of Prince's classic
"Purple Rain" has become a tradition in the finale of his
live shows leaving the croud wanting more...
Gerd has found and settled into his own style that could
be described as an American classic-rock mix of The Eagles
with some early Bryan Adams, plus a pinch of John Mellen-
camp and a dash of the 80's like Bon Jovi or Def Leppard
tossed in for good measure. With more than 800 songs in his present set list, no show
is exactly like the other. He enjoys randomly selecting
the tunes spontaneously during his performances to get the
best out of any event whether it's at clubs, private par-
ties, festivals, weddings or corporate gigs. Samples of his music, CD's, videos and more information
