Richard Hawley - Baloise Session 2023

ARTE Concert Jazz. Rock. Pop. Folk. Richard Hawley is a true all-rounder. At the Baloise Session 2023, the Brit will be bringing his special sounds to the stage in Basel - always travelling in the footsteps of well-known styles, sounds and artists. The way Richard Hawley writes and orchestrates his songs is less extreme, but no less passionate. Sometimes it sounds like sultry Roy Orbison, sometimes like Johnny Cash, then you hear jazz, rock’n’roll or classic Brit pop. This thoroughbred musician from Sheffield has studied all these styles and combined the best of them into his own songs. His very characteristic crooner voice hovers over everything, sometimes soft and melodic, sometimes dark and melancholic. Richard Hawley doesn’t live from a collection of number 1 hits, but from a complete work of art that even inspires bands like Coldplay, Radiohead or .. That’s why they took him on tour with them as an opener.
