Max Raabe & The Palast Orchester USA & Canada Tour
| 1920s and 1930s music fans
in the USA and Canada will have a rare opportunity to hear
one of the very best contemporary bands devoted to music
from that era peform live with the upcoming North American
tour of Max Raabe & The Palast Orchester which is
based out of Berlin. Raabe and the Palast
Orchester regularly performs vintage German, British and
American popular music from the 1930s & 1930s to huge
audiences in Europe where the band is widely known by
audiences of all ages and regularly featured on
television. Here in the USA he is probably best known for
his performances on PBS. For those who are not
yet familiar with Max Raabe an excellent introduction can
be seen on this YouTube clip:
http://youtu.be/msYK1YFhL74 I was very fortunate to see the band perform in San Antionio, Texas in 2004. Not only was the music outstanding Raabe and the band are excellent showmen in their own right. The program had the feel of what imagine a high class sort of vaudeville act might have been like. If you enjoy Radio Dismuke will you love the upcoming performances. I and all of my local friends who are vintage music fans in the Dallas/Fort Worth area will definitely be at the performance this upcoming Saturday in Richardson, Texas (Dallas suburb). Here is a list of the dates and cities of the tour along with the name of the local peformance venue. Note: I do not have any of the particulars as to peformance times or ticket prices beyond what I am listing here. If you are interested in attending one of the performances, my suggestion is to google "Max Raabe" along with the name of the venue or city to find the additional information you will need.
