What: M. Byrd @ Raum für Illustration
When:
Hamburg meine Perle, since we needed to cancel the show at the end of last year i‘ve been thinking a lot on how i can make it up to you. Times are hard for touring musicians who play in small cap venues. It‘s hard to meet people out of the digital world and become friends. I know this feeling very well.
A huge part of my project and songwriting are human connections that happened while i was out and about. People outside of my bubble that fascinate me and make me grow. That‘s why I teamed up with @rfi_gallery to open up one of these spaces next week. @sammm_mayes and me will play the whole new album back to back. There will be drinks. We‘ll talk music. I‘ll tell some stories. It‘s going to be a place to rediscover old friendships and make new ones. In the heart of St. Pauli. There might even be some goodies provided by RfI who have been silent supporters of M. Byrd since we released our first songs.
And the best part - it‘s free. Donations will help to maybe take this concept to another city.
Reclaim being together.

Who: M. Byrd
Alternative
M. Byrd’s music expands moments of stark intimacy to widescreen proportions boosted by shoegaze scope, alternative boldness, and pop palatability. The German singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer unearths universality from intensely personal songwriting.
He traces the origin of his passion for music back to playing the drums in front of the TV at three-years-old. Eventually, he found his dad’s guitar. He embraced inspirations as diverse as Alice Coltrane, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Elliott Smith as well as renown filmmaker David Lynch. Encouraged by a teacher, he picked up electric guitar and attended countless roots jam sessions at local haunts.
In 2020, he turned heads with the single “Mountain”, followed by “Morning Sun”, gaining millions of streams and praise from Ones To Watch, Earmilk, Atwood, etc. At the end of 2020, he holed up in Detmold, Germany in a WWII-era British Corps squash hall rechristened as a studio with producer Eugen Koop to create The Seed. Leaving his mark on each level of the music, M. Byrd personally played guitar, synthesizers and bass.
In the end, M. Byrd draws you in to inspire your own evolution, stating, “When you listen to the album, I hope you feel like you can grow with me. Maybe you’ll find confidence in yourself. We’re planting this thought with ‘The Seed’.”
