April – the month that doesn’t promise anything but instead challenges our patience or causes us to smile, that can surprise us over and over again and make us happy – that is the starting point for FRIEND ‘N FELLOW’s 10th album with 12 new songs. Music that is enchanting, inviting and moving... Stories about a jumping dog, the lemon yellow sun, the signpost, the guardian angel’s tree and of course about April...
The Friend voice and the Fellow sound – recognizable, unmistakable, just incredible!
Friend `n Fellow‘s trademark has been to concentrate on the quintessence for far more than 1,000 concerts, 9 albums and 100,000 records sold. The duo celebrates its intense musical dialogue with the low voice that deeply touches us and the guitar sound that takes us far away.
Constanze Friend and Thomas Fellow have long since discovered their own unique language that surprises and thrills the audience, focusing on the core of the songs, the essence of the music. That is why the uncountable forms and colors of April are just the right theme for their new album.
The music of Friend `n Fellow effortlessly unifies what seems to be opposites. Blues? Jazz? Soul? Music that is often pegged to be separate ends up together with Friend `n Fellow. They play with the timbres of soul, the intensity of blues and the freedom of jazz. And there is always ample room for listening.
A voice – unmistakable and low. A complete band consisting of two hands and just one instrument. And a dozen vivid songs about April. That is all you need. Or, as a magazine so fittingly described it: A voice, a guitar – the rest is amazement.

Friend ´n Fellow are phenomenal: For almost 30 years, they have been successfully underway beyond the mainstream, but also beyond all other musical pigeon-holes. Distinctive and unique, but yet changeable and always good for a surprise. “One voice, one guitar – the rest is amazement,” the press commented a few years ago. With their intensive and genuine interactions, the musicians expose even the finest nuances – which seem to have become forgotten in today’s radio pop music world. The music of Friend ´n Fellow breathes the intensity of blues, enjoys the freedom of jazz and touches the sound of soul. CHARACTERS is the duo’s twelfth album. 12 songs about 12 different characters who encounter each other in the songs and reach out to each other. This is the way to delve into 48 minutes of deep, clear music.

There is an anniversary to celebrate in 2016. Friend ’n Fellow is looking back on 25 musical years together.
Since 1991, when it all began with a concert in Leipzig, a lot has happened:
Tours throughout Europe, Asia and the USA
10 CDs and over 100,000 recordings sold
Evenings with Ray Charles, Al Jarreau and Luther Allison
Music for Box-Events and Formel 1 teams…
But what is much more special are the intimate, unique and moving moments during one of their live concerts.
Depth, class and entertainment - and focussing on the essence of good songs.
And so their new album Silver Live offers a whole hour of pure Friend ’n Fellow - recorded up close in full intensity during their About April tour in 2015.
Wonderful guitar sound and an extraordinary voice, or as one critic wrote so fittingly: One voice, one guitar - and the rest is amazement.

Their reputation as outstanding live musicians with concerts in many countries over the world was documented with the double album Live. After some of the albums of these early years were not available anymore, their new label DOCTOR HEART MUSIC decided to release a CD-Box with all 6 CDs.
For the first time, Fairy Godmother will also be available in stores - an album that the two musicians have sold exclusively at their concerts. A booklet with many photos, texts of their songs and personal statements completes this CD box. The first stage of her journey to a much-respected crossover between jazz, blues and pop.
