Andreas Kümmert & The Electric Circus

On 17 April 2026, Andreas Kümmert will take the stage with his band The Electric Circus at the Pumpwerk cultural centre in Wilhelmshaven. Born in Lower Franconia, the singer-songwriter moves between blues rock, soul and folk. Characteristics: a rough, distinctive voice, earthy guitar playing and English-language songs that often rely on clear structures and pared-down arrangements. In the band format these pieces gain drive and depth without losing their gritty character.

After early years in rock groups and the TV boost from The Voice of Germany in 2013, Kümmert continued his path as an independent performer. The setlist brings together heartfelt ballads and edgy blues-rock numbers, with nods to American traditional lines. Material from Here I Am (2014), Recovery Case (2016) and Lost and Found (2018) forms the framework, supplemented by newer songs that allow more room for dynamic variation in a live setting.

The Electric Circus maintains a balance between quiet moments and high-energy passages. The band lays down a compact foundation over which Kümmert’s voice remains at the center — direct, unpretentious and close to the song. An evening that showcases the artist’s band-oriented side and concentrates his repertoire into a dense, organic sound.
