Claus Hempler

Claus Hempler plays Magasinet in Odense on 29 May 2026. The Danish singer‑songwriter first made his mark as the frontman of Fielfraz, the Odense‑born band that steered between melodic pop and guitar‑driven rock in the early 90s. Since going solo at the turn of the millennium, he has shaped a distinctive blend of crooner‑tinged pop, soul shades and refined songwriting, first in English with releases like the 1999 EP I Gave You The Best Years Of My Life and the album Charm School for Pop Singers in 2004.

In the 2010s, Hempler switched to Danish and dug deeper into a slower, voice‑forward style, marked by narrative lyrics and a calm, steady pulse, on Kuffert fuld af mursten (2011) and Happy Times (2019). On stage, he navigates between these eras, moving from English‑language pop craftsmanship to the more intimate Danish material, with arrangements that leave space for his deep vocal tone. Back in the city where his first band took off, Hempler lines up a set that traces his path from alternative rock roots to a mature, understated pop sensibility.
