The Grateful Aid

Alternative Country Acoustic-Trio from Aachen/Germany. Large GEMA-free repertoire of very own songs, no Coversongs! Came from Punkrock to Americana roots rock and now perform unplugged/acoustic, minimalist in arrangement and equipment. They combine the roots of African drums with American Folk, Dark Country Blues and Rootsrock influences. The songs are about faith, doubt, trust, confusion and loss, about constant change, the Only One that doesn't change... and about the last man on the bar floor. The band consciously avoids a social media appearance and prefers real life and simplicity. there are: Hans Schmitz: double bass, backing vocals Karsten Krengel: vocals, guitar, songwriting Serge Salimou: Cajon, Djembe, congas and other things to bang on, backing vocals
