Since its formation in 1990, FIDDLER'S GREEN has earned the status of one of the most popular, successful and enduring bands within the European folk rock community. A well-oiled Irish speedfolk machine, which now shows itself at the zenith of its creativity with its new studio album "The Green Machine"! Fiddler's Green currently has an impressive 25 albums, four DVDs, hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic fans spread around the globe and over 214k monthly Spotify listeners. Ralf Albers (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Pat Prziwara (guitar, vocals), Rainer Schulz (bass), Stefan Klug (accordion, bodhran), Tobias Heindl (violin, vocals) and Frank Jooss (drums) feel just as much at home in cozy clubs as they do on the stages of large concert arenas throughout Europe and Asia. Fiddler's Green now present their first studio album in over four years with "The Green Machine"! While working on their last three albums, the idea for "The Green Machine" began to develop in parallel, it matured and finally lead a life of its own. Together with the well-known producer Jörg Umbreit (In Extremo, Grave Digger and many more), a living organism has been created over the past 36 months in the seclusion of the renowned Principal Studio near Münster, which now presents Fiddler's Green from its most versatile and multi-layered side. For twelve songs, the band spans the stylistic arc from their beloved full-throttle party sound to touching ballads and popular pieces to driving mid-tempo rockers and even country and westerninfluenced tracks which you have never heard in this form from the Erlangen band before. 50 Shades of Green, so to speak, in which the fiddlers combine a lot of energy with an unparalleled attention to detail and highlevel storytelling. Fiddler's Green: "This album got all the time it needed to make. The songs were created in different stages, in which they grew and constantly changed. We were happy to give them that freedom and f inally distilled the essence. This record shows what Fiddler's Green sounds like in 2023."
