Von Hertzen Brothers (Acoustic Enough)

About

Celebrating 25 years of music with unique reimagined performances from across the band’s celebrated catalogue

Acclaimed Finnish progressive rock band Von Hertzen Brothers have announced a special run of UK theatre dates. Taking place in intimate seated venues across the country, the shows will celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary with a unique concert experience unlike anything they have presented in the UK before.

The band wryly describe these performances as acoustic ‘enough’ - while the songs may be reimagined beyond their usual electric rock set-up, these shows are anything but stripped back. Far from a simple “unplugged” set, they interpret the band’s music in a way that feels intimate, expansive and more immersive than ever before.

The three brothers, Mikko, Kie and Jonne von Hertzen are joined on stage by their bandmate, multi-instrumentalist Markus Pajakkala whose impressive array of instruments goes far beyond a traditional acoustic set-up. The brothers themselves also show off their insane musical skills, each playing multiple instruments and taking turns on drums, keyboards, guitars, vocals, percussion and whatever else happens to be at hand.

Presented in seated theatre and cabaret-style venues, these evenings are designed to bring audiences closer to the songs and stories at the heart of the music. Spanning the band’s rich 25-year catalogue, audiences can expect fan favourites, deep cuts and rarely performed material presented in brand new arrangements created especially for these shows.
