About the Artist

Subway to Sally, hailing from Potsdam, has been a dominant force in the German music scene for over three decades. Formed in 1990, the band initially started with English lyrics, but by 1994, they transitioned to German, a move that significantly boosted their popularity and allowed for a deeper connection with their audience. Their music is a distinctive fusion of hard rock and metal with elements of medieval music, folk, and even a touch of punk. This unique blend is often referred to as 'Mittelalter-Rock' (medieval rock).

Their discography boasts numerous successful albums, including "Märchen aus 1001 Nacht", "Hochzeit", "Herzblut", and "Kreuzfeuer", many of which have charted highly in Germany. The band's lyrics often draw inspiration from historical themes, mythology, and fairy tales, creating a rich and immersive lyrical landscape. Lead singer Eric "Simon" Buchholz delivers powerful and emotive vocals, complemented by the intricate bagpipe melodies of Frau Schmitt, the driving guitar work, and a solid rhythm section. Over the years, Subway to Sally has cultivated a loyal fanbase, renowned for their passionate live performances and strong sense of community.
