Last year I’ve seen Bernese singer/songwriter Marco Balzli at “The Voice of Switzerland” and at the beginning for 2014 I set myself the target to see him live. And only a few days after I set up my list with ‘acts I want to see 2014’, I already got the oportunity.

So on Saturday afternoon I went off to Bern to music shop Krompholz, where a little unplugged concert was going to happen. I arrived about 5-10 mins before beginning and was already wondering if I was going to be the only one there. Luckily not and the shop suddendly got crowded quickly. The guitar player had to stay at home due to illness, so they improvised. He played the guitar himself and during an about 1 hour taking concert he presented together with his percussion player Frieda some covers as well as his own songs from his album “Those Days”. “Grow into the world” and “Marlene” have been part of the setlist. The little playing mistakes at the beginning were quickly forgiven and forgotten. With wonderful lyrics and beautiful melodies as well as a lot of sympathy the ex “The voice” contestant also convinced live. An audience at every age was listening standing or sitting on the ground in front of the temporary stage in front of the shop window. Esp. the little one, Marco has written the song “Grow into this world”, seemed very bewitched and spellbound. As an encore, Travi’s “Sing” the whole audience got involved directly and sang along first a bit restrained, then more courageous.

A small but fine concert at the music shop Krompholz. Marco is a very likable musician with a great voice and wonderful songs. Sometimes I think, I won’t do me a favour to like even more musician, and wanting to see even more concerts. But esp. as a Swiss music fan Marco Balzli simply belongs into my repertoire. It’s worth to visit his concert.
