Bluesfest specials:
Night festival
A new venue, the “Theater am Schloss” (a 2 minutes’ walk from the Market Square – see map) with a capacity of
400 will feature a night festival when the Market Square’s program has ended: Three nights with three concerts
each by three acts from the day’s festival and a jam session afterwards – those will be fine blues parties till the
cows come home. We won’t tell you yet who will be performing which night – but most of the festival’s highlights
will show up!

Richie Arndt – “Train stories” – a musical recital
For generations stories of traveling, of leaving and arriving have given power and emotions to music. Lots
of stories have grown up around trains and the myths of hobos and ramblers and thus gave inspiration to artists
such as Rory Gallagher, Elvis Presley and the Beatles for unforgettable classics. Just him and an acoustic
guitar, driven by his never ending interest in music and led by his sensibility for touching stories, Richie Arndt
in his extraordinary recitals transfers his knowledge of the lifestyle of generations – and of a yearning we still
feel today: a longing for wanderlust, for closeness and for home.
Saturday, May 21 st , 11:00 h, Cafe Klausberger, Market Square, 30 m to the left of the stage. Admission free.
