Matt Elliott / Tavare

More than twenty years after the release of Drinking Songs, Matt Elliott returns to the most defining work of his career. Originally released in 2004, the album marked a decisive shift from his electronic roots towards a deeply personal form of chamber folk, combining fragile songwriting with Eastern European cabaret influences and a stark, introspective atmosphere.

In this special solo performance, Elliott revisits songs from Drinking Songs in their most direct and intimate form. Alongside this seminal material, he will also perform selected songs from other albums, as well as previously unreleased pieces, offering a broader insight into his evolving body of work. Stripped of additional instrumentation, the music is presented with raw emotional clarity, allowing the weight of the lyrics, voice and melodies to fully unfold.

Performed in the unique acoustic setting of Berlin’s Genezarethkirche, this concert is not a nostalgic retrospective, but a living re-encounter with Elliott’s music — haunting, fragile and profoundly human, more than two decades on.

special guest: Tavare

Tavare formed in Berlin in 2020, creating minimal slowcore-inspired songs with fragile harmonies and restrained emotion. Blending ’90s melancholy with modern pop structures, the trio released Ghosts (2024) and the album Too Small To Be So High (2025), and perform regularly across Europe.
