Ouwe
OUWE XL from Dorsten (Germany) is a veritable power pack of voices and acoustic instruments. With great passion and obvious enjoyment, they deliver a spirited mix ranging across all ages of rock and pop. With vituoso playing and two-part vocals, Michael Thiemann on flute & accordeon, Reinhard Ernst on guitar and Klaus Griese on drums smoothly perform classic numbers with the feel of a big line-up, constructing an enormous acoustic wall of sound. Renowned for their select repertoire of brilliant Jethro Tull interpretations, OUWE are just as happy performing classic Beatles pieces or super hits by top US bands such as The Eagles, Kansas and Simon & Garfunkel.
They live in the coal-mine area of Germany, the “Ruhrgebiet”, they work in different jobs and play music in OUWE XL formation for the past 5 years
