Michael Moravek - Georg CD (Preorder: Ships July 17, 2026)

Powerful songs inspired by the life and fate of Georg Elser (1904-1945): a musical memorial to the man who almost stopped Hitler. In 1939, Georg Elser failed in his assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler and was murdered for it on April 9, 1945, in the Dachau concentration camp. More than eight decades later, Michael Moravek (one of the most poetic representatives of English-language Americana songwriting from Germany) has dedicated an extraordinary work to him: GEORG - Songs of Courage and Humanity, and the question of attitude in dark times. Moravek, together with his band Electric Traveling Show, succeeds in giving Elser a voice and at the same time making the songs shine with a drastic topicality that could not be more contemporary. Together with his virtuoso band, he creates sparkling Americana folk rock with jazzy nuances and poetic, sober lyrics.
