Jon Flemming Olsen

On 21 August 2026, Jon Flemming Olsen will perform at the LOLA Kulturzentrum in Hamburg. The Hamburg-based musician and songwriter moves between country, folk and acoustic pop, with early Beatles echoes and roots in the local scene. He became known as a co-founder of Texas Lightning; as a solo artist he shifts his focus to German-language songs, close to storytelling and carried by acoustic guitars. His songs take up everyday moments, relationships and small social observations, in a language that paints pictures without overdoing it. Live, Olsen relies on clear melodies, spare arrangements and a voice that puts the lyrics front and center. Between Americana hues and modern singer-songwriter craft an immediate atmosphere emerges: quiet ballads, gently springing mid-tempo numbers, occasional wry asides—always with a calm pulse that leaves space. Those who know him from Texas Lightning will discover here the pared-down, personal variant of his writing; newcomers will get a focused overview of his current repertoire.
