Since January 2009 international and local artists from genres like Alternative Folk, Alternative Country, Americana, Bluegrass and Singer – Songwriter are fascinating a constantly growing audience (www.songsandwhisper.com).

After playing successful concerts in hostels in bremen during the regular circuits, “Songs & Whispers” is now starting a new tour concept named “Looking for Shelter”. Two artists are playing in different hostels all over Germany. They are playing mostly acoustic and do not need a lot of equipment to play concerts in breakfast or meeting rooms of hostels.
The artists presented are Kid Decker (Hamburg & UK) and Astrid’s Farm (Hamburg). Both musicians are playing calm singer-songwriter music, which fits the relaxing atmosphere of most hostels.
