What Phil Siemers brings to the stage with his band, and for the first time solo last year, is among the highest quality that popular, handcrafted music from Germany has to offer. His music breathes groove and laid-back style; his voice nestles smoothly between the heart and gut, and the atmosphere practically crackles with presence and sensuality. Someone as good as him could easily hide behind a guitar and loop station and reap the rewards – but that's not enough for him. The 32-year-old songwriter wants to go further: to get even closer to himself and, at the same time, to express himself more fully.

With his third album, `Was wenn doch`, Phil Siemers covers the rearview mirrors, turns all the dials up and lets go.
