Below you find some shots from the Jug Band Colline Metallifere. Between June 14 and June 29 we have moved from Southern Tuscany, Trentino, Munich, and various locations in Baden-Württemberg, proposing a series of concerts intertwined with the topic of grains, and more in general to interact on musica and relation between different territories.We have been at: La Foresta+Comun’orto Rovereto, Vits Cafe Munich, Tennental, Krone Alt Hoheneck (Ludwigsburg), Goldochsen Brauerei Spielbach, Huober Brezel Erdmannhausen, Tatty Stay and See Stuttgart, Beuerlbach-Crailsheim, Löwen Bartenstein, Clansman Ludwigsburg, Aalen Red Cross, in addition to a couple of street music gigs in Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart. This was around 2700 km and 14 events in 16 days, closing at Bagno Baratti (Tuscany) on June 29.

June 25, 2024 – Gran(i)Tour in Beuerlbach, with a visit to grain experiments + Jug Band Colline Metallifere live

After a day off, where we had the opportunity of visiting the Bauer recording studios in Ludwigsburg, Germany, the Gran(i)Tour, starts its second half, with the most “rural” event of all our mission.

From 7.30PM it will be possible to visit Reiner Schmidt’s farm in Beuerlbach, North-East of Stuttgart. Here you may see different types of experimental grains on which four local families have been working for years.

The Jug Band Colline Metallifere performance will follow the site visit (around 9PM).
