The Rockin'Catsharks in the Heidsgärtla

What a huge treat!

Anyone who still remembers the Heidsgärtla days will immediately start raving about it. And for those of us who were out and about in petticoats back then, it’s time to immerse ourselves once again in that incomparably nostalgic atmosphere—together with the Rockin’ Catsharks.

Four passionate musicians from Franconia who, alongside their day jobs, enjoy playing music from the ’50s and ’60s. What began back then as a two-man band performing a series of “sofa concerts” soon expanded to include four musicians. The members—Claus Jesberger (vocals, rhythm guitar), Hans Fauth (vocals, lead guitar, harmonica, banjo), Steven Changer (drums), and Thomas Schwendner (double bass)—are from Fürth and Erlangen. The band aims to breathe new life into this music—which served as the foundation for many new musical genres—and to reintroduce the artists, whose work may have been forgotten over time, and their music to a wider audience. With a successful blend of rock ’n’ roll, country, and surf, even the gentlest kittens turn into wild sharks in beer gardens, clubs, festivals, and private events. So let’s get started: “Get Rhythm!”

Since admission is free, the musicians are all the more grateful for a generous donation to their tip jar.
