Those clarinets tunes! They are the reason why I was instantly hooked by Canadian singer-songwriter Andy Shaun’s song Early to the Party from his new album The Party.

Thursday evening in Hamburg (Schanze), part I! All Pics by Franzi. The last days I was in Hamburg and in Berlin. The weather was either surprisingly hot (37 °C!) or felt like a thunderstorm was just around the next corner.
