Joshua Tell was born in 1867 in the state of Missouri (USA). From a young age he liked collecting things, be it sticks, baseball cards or records. In the 1890s he moved to Europe and began creating a collection of handmade songs inspired by folk traditions of his original country. Some people have compared his sound to Taylor Swift. Others have not.
Dorian K. appeared considerably later and operates out of Berlin. His songs tend to build on repetition and tension, with a built-in yearning that draws heavily from the Detroit hip-hop scene, German avant-garde traditions and Appalachian spirituals. Performed solo or with bass guitar and a droning violin, the music moves between restraint and force.

THURSDAY SOUNDS: – Singer/Songwriter Konzerte im Tik, ab 21.00 Uhr
Jeden Donnerstag ein Konzert mit einem Singer/Songwriter oder einer kleinen Band.
Wer aufmerksam durch Berlin stolpert, hat es mitbekommen, die Stadt ist ein Magnet für junge, verrückte, talentierte und interessante Musiker. Mit etwas Glück sieht man auf der Warschauer Brücke oder in einem Kneipenhinterzimmer an einem Abend mehr Talent als das ganze Jahr im Fernsehen.
Wir wollen diesen Musikern eine Bühne geben.
Every Thursday we have a concert with a Singer/Songwriter or a small band.
It’s Berlin nowadays: The City has become a magnet to musicians from all over the world or from just around the corner. Creatvity and talent is on the street playing for small change, on the stages of open mics or maybe in the bar in your street.
The Tik has a stage for these musicians, every thursday.
