Multi-tasking!

/

If women are good at multi-tasking then Hedreich is definitely one of the pros. In addition to finishing up the CD project, preparing for the Inspritational Singers’ November 22nd annual concert and working on repertoirs for 3 other upcoming performances, Hedreich is looking into the future, planning the CD launch and a couple of other gigs hopefully in a neighborhood near you. As a matter of fact, if your neighborhood happens to be in Basel, come on out to Tibiz this Saturday where Hedreich will be special guest along with Nubya, Guitarist Randy Müller and “da man” on the keys, Greg Galli. It starts at 9PM and if we’re lucky, there’ll be no police action. In the meantime, for all the up to the minute updates join Hedreich’s Facebook fansite. All music, all the time!

One Singer Under Many Groovy Hats

/

In addition to doing the endspurt boogie on her upcoming album, Hedreich has spent the month playing aunt, teacher, surrogate mom, godmom, drummer, nurse, as well as a host of other varied and interesting stuff. All that in a month having 3 vacation weeks! But the work is paying off. Fans will be glad to know that the sound coming out of Soundcheck studio is exceptional, a Hedreich you know but like you’ve heard her before. Hmmm, what does that mean? Welllll, buy the CD and find out! It’s due out about the time the first snowdrops push up through last of the the mountain snow. Oh, and if you’re in Basel on November 14th, stop by Tibiz. We’re trying to do the gig again–this time without police intervention!

Police Cancel Performance

/

If you were one of the people standing in a quiet restaurant in Basel expecting a concert, you may already be in the know. For those here to find out how the concert was, well, there wasn’t one. Unfortunately, today at about 4PM a legal petition was delivered to Tibiz Basel prohibiting music louder than 75dB –about the same noise level as your household dishwasher. If you’ve heard Hedreich or Tanja, you know they each sing, uh, a bit louder than a dishwasher, thus the cancelled performance. Let’s hope the performance takes place in some form in the future.

Grammy Nominated

In addition to hanging at number one with Polo, Hedreich is also a part of the Grammy nominated “Living Your Dream”. The Michael Jackson tribute song has just been confirmed in 12 categories. Don’t forget to check out the video in our media section. And if you happen to be in Basel, stop into Tibiz to get your groove on. Tanja Dankner and her band will be putting down the sound and Hedreich will be the featured guest of the evening. If you’re in the area, it will be an evening not to be missed. And if you’re not in the area, it may just be well worth the drive!

Hanging with Polo at number 1

/

The Swiss rock legend Polo Hofer decided to Gospel-and-Blues it up so he called Hedreich along with Freda Goodlet to put some soul into “Ds Letschte Hemmli”. The song, which would probably be titled “You Can’t Take It With You” in English, is in the number 1 slot on the Swiss charts. And when you get toward the end, I think you’ll hear Hedreich’s unmistakeable voice doing ad libs over the Chorus…

Congratulations Das Office and Powerplay

/

Hedreich took a few hours off from music making to get an up close and personal look at the new Powerplay studios. After a soft renovation, Powerplay presented it’s new look to a host of singers, musicians, producers and Swiss music business elite. The staff at Powerplay and Das Office combined powers to create an event that only Claudia Boggio could have masterminded; Studio 1 converted to an intimate club with some of Switerland’s hottest new bands playing, the reception area converted to a bar, and a HUGE grill and salad buffet…altogether they created a fine evening of music and magic befitting the grande dame of the Swiss studios. Even “Mr. Powerplay” himself, Jürg Peterhans was on hand for the festivities. And of course, no musician can be around music and really be off duty. So if you see Hedreich and the Flash playing with a Cajon and shakers instead of a kit, you can trace it back to this evening!

The “Living Your Dream” press conference on the Blofeld Entertainment terrace was the first official event for the Michael Jackson tribute single spearheaded by Lichtensteiner Al Walser and Jermaine Jackson. Producer/singer/songwriter Walser, along with Blofeld’s Zoe Torinesi were gracious hosts, fielding questions from Swiss TV, newspaper and magazine journalists as well as making sure noone left hungry or thirsty. As the aroma of Gouchos Argentinian beef filled the air, Hedreich, as well as others on the project, talked about the project, gave interviews and reminisced about Michael Jackson. Also on hand were officials from Wunderlampe, a charity similar in goals to the “Make A Wish” foundation. Wunderlampe will be the recipient of a portion of all sales and downloads. Be on the lookout for snippets of the evening in Swiss press as well as right here on hedreich.com. Stop back by soon. We’ll keep a light on for ya…

Gone Too Soon

/

Hedreich’s memories of Michael Jackson go all the way back to the Jackson 5’s Ed Sullivan debut. So it was a bittersweet day singing on Al Walser’s “Living Your Dream”. It will be released for Michael’s birthday, August 29th, with a closed release ceremony being held on Blofeld Entertainments’ terrace in Zürich. Hedreich sang from the heart. Harmonizing with Jermaine Jackson would have been a highlight for any singer had it not been for the fact that the recording is only coming to pass because Michael has indeed “gone too soon”. Still, Al has pulled in some excellent Swiss talent and the project promises to be a grand musical bouquet paying homage to one of the most influential musical entertainers of modern times. May he truly rest in peace.
