Big City Music.
Songs like Edward Hopper paintings.
Music from the heart of Berlin. Melodies of passion and desire:
Like a salty kiss in the sun, like a rollercoaster ride, backstreet symphonies.
Listen to THE BOYS OF SUMMER “The man who caught the light”!
Recorded and mixed by famous producer Thommy Hein.
Hear and feel six excellent musicians playing their heart and soul music on this brilliant CD.
To get the whole picture: See THE BOYS OF SUMMER Live !
Feel the magic. Hear the sound. See the show.
Satisfaction guaranteed !
