July 2023: “Sauwer” Sach: Trier blues band Bluesaorsch rocks at a benefit concert for KRASS in Trier
Trier. "Yeah, the house is rocking," sings lead singer Stephan, holding the microphone towards the audience. The spectators immediately join in: "Yeah, the house is rocking." And how the house rocks! In the beer garden of the cult café "Mohrenkopf" (from "Moor" [swampy area] and Kopf [a regional term for a mountain]), the Trier band "Bluesaorsch" is on stage, ready to celebrate the rock and blues hits of artists like ZZ Top, Chuck Berry, and Wilson Pickett with their fans.
The five musicians, sporting their black hats, launch into one catchy tune after another, energizing the audience with fast-paced songs, rocking vocals, and rousing guitar solos. The audience is swept away and enthusiastically joins in: on the playground behind the stage, children romp happily, kicking a ball around to the music.
Most of the adult guests enjoy the concert with wine or beer. Many grew up with English-language music and therefore know the lyrics by heart. Some enthusiastically film the performance with their mobile phones.
“That was our time, our youth. That’s why I always enjoy listening to the music,” says audience member Astrid. Hanna and Walter Richter are longtime fans of the Bluesaorsch. “We like the music and the people,” they explain. They saw their first Bluesaorsch concert more than 30 years ago in the backyard of a union building. Since then, they have been loyal fans of the cult Trier blues-rock band.
Before a short break, the singer announces: "As you know, admission is free today. Instead, we'll be passing the hat." Everything collected will be donated by the band to charity. This time, Bluesaorsch is supporting the Trier branch of the KRASS e.V. association, which provides cultural education for children and young people. The association is committed to ensuring that children and young people – regardless of their background – have free access to education, art, and culture. All of the association's programs are free of charge, primarily to enable children from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in workshops and projects in music, visual arts, dance, and culture. By the end of the break, a generous 521 euros had been collected, which will be presented to the head of the local branch later that evening.
As the air cools and the band strikes up a slow blues tune, the beer garden becomes truly cozy. Beneath the leafy canopy of the old chestnut trees, guests snuggle into blankets and sway to the music with their loved ones. Strings of lights twinkle in the treetops.
Towards the end, the music gets loud and lively again.
As the band was about to say goodbye, the audience shouted "One more!" and "Encore!" The gentlemen of Bluesaorsch didn't need to be asked twice. The lead singer jumped off the stage and ran from table to table, encouraging the audience to sing along one last time that evening with the song "Alright Now" by Free.
In the end, the audience cheers, claps, and whistles, and a wonderful evening comes to a close. Or, to put it in the words of one audience member in the Trier dialect: That was "sauwer"!
