Faulkner | Lux | Chassée
Look forward to an unforgettable concert and let yourself be inspired by the diversity and virtuosity of acoustic guitar music! 🎶
On Friday, May 8, 2026, a very special evening full of musical highlights awaits you at the Acoustic Guitar Days. Starting at 7:00 PM, you can look forward to impressive live performances by three outstanding artists!
Sophie Chassée
Sophie Chassée stands for technically sophisticated guitar playing, musical depth, and intense live performances. She has already performed with international guitarists such as Jon Gomm, Joscho Stephan, and Mike Dawes, combining virtuosic fingerstyle with emotional expression and a warm voice.
With her new album “ELYRA / SOLUNE” (release: May 2026), she continues to develop her style: modern fingerstyle meets an organically produced folk-indie aesthetic with a strong focus on songwriting and atmosphere. In addition to English songs, the album also features two German tracks for the first time. With harp guitar, electric guitar, and captivating songs, Sophie Chassée creates concert experiences for guitar lovers as well as for fans of folk and singer-songwriter music.
Jaimi Faulkner
Australian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jaimi Faulkner blends Americana, rock, and singer-songwriter soul with great warmth, catchy grooves, and his accomplished guitar playing. His repertoire ranges from heartfelt ballads to powerful, groove-driven songs, carried by his expressive, soulful voice.
As a captivating live performer, Faulkner has thrilled audiences worldwide – both on his own tours and alongside artists such as Paul Young, Chris Isaak, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Vonda Shepard, and Tom Odell. His single “Early Morning Coffee Cups” (2017) has reached over 30 million streams on Spotify.
His recent albums “Allen Keys & Broken Bits” (2022) and “Half Of It” (2025) showcase his continuous artistic development, featuring precise guitar work, profound lyrics, and emotionally resonant songs.
Christina Lux
For many years, Christina Lux has been one of the outstanding artists in the German singer-songwriter scene. With her groovy guitar playing, open chords, and a distinctive voice, she tells her songs sometimes gently, sometimes powerfully – in both German and English.
Over the course of her career, she has released 11 albums. Her album “Leise Bilder” (2018) received the German Record Critics’ Award, and her latest release “Live deLUXe” (2023) with Oliver George has also been nominated. Christina has worked with artists such as Stoppok, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Purple Schulz, and Jon Lord. We are very pleased to welcome her back to the Acoustic Guitar Days.
