5Past9

When Tom Waits meets Kurt Weill. And everything changes. 5past9 doesn’t just take apart the songs of Tom Waits and Kurt Weill—they reassemble them. Raw, surprising, unconventional. Sometimes steeped in the blues, sometimes infused with rock energy, sometimes with jazzy sophistication—but always with a distinct signature: uncompromising and intense.

This isn’t just a cover show. This is a transformation. With German and English lyrics, quotes, imagery, and subtle shifts, new soundscapes emerge—dark, wicked, poetic, and ambivalent. At the heart of it all: a voice that moves, carries, and challenges.

Backed by outstanding musicians, a concert unfolds that is more than just music—an atmospheric performance that blends jazz, blues, and theater.
