About this concert
"That's me" - Release-Konzert"That's Me" ist der Titel des neuen Albums von Rieke Katz. Elf neue Songs heißen mit beschwingter Leichtigkeit im Leben der charismatischen Sängerin willkommen. War das Debütalbum der Karlsruherin noch von ausschließlich englischsprachigen Texten geprägt, singt sie auf "That's Me" auch in ihrer Muttersprache. Faszinierender Nebeneffekt ist die zusätzliche Steigerung ihres ohnehin beeindruckend großen stimmlichen Spektrums, mit dem sie eine Brücke zwischen Pop und Jazz baut. "That's Me" verankert die Vocal-Jazz-Pop-Künstlerin zusätzlich mit erdigem Funk. Jung und aufstrebend begeistert Rieke Katz' Musik gleich mehrere Generationen. So lockt eine Coverversion von "Poker Face" den Lady Gaga-Charthit in lockerem Groove und scheinbar vollkommen mühelos auf überraschende R&B-Fährte. "'s Wonderful", der Easy Listening-Klassiker von George und Ida Gershwin, lässt als swingender Jazz-Song mit der Leichtigkeit des Gefühls von Verliebtheit den Ballast des Tages vergessen. Ein Konzert von Rieke Katz verspricht gute Laune. Und das kommt nicht von ungefähr, wie die Künstlerin sagt: "Ein sonnig stimmender Song darf auch die Nacht erhellen. Und Melancholie hat selbstverständlich auch am Tag ihre Berechtigung. Alles gehört dazu. Alles bedingt alles andere - auf meinem Album, in meinem Leben."

Rieke Katz Biography
“That’s me!”, Rieke Katz’s new album title says it all. The eleven songs on the record ,released in march 2018, are orchestrated intelligently and lean towards well-tested classic sounds, thus bidding you welcome in the life of this charismatic singer. Third of the album is an absolute novelty to this likeable Karlsruhe-based singer. As her first album was solely composed of English texts, she now also sings in her native tongue of German. The amazing side effect of singing in German is the enhancement of her, already, impressive vocal range, thus building a bridge between pop and jazz. But “That’s me!”, also expands the subjects of this vocal-jazz-pop artist with grounded funk – having “earworm” potential.
In June 2016 Rieke Katz released her new single “Mentally Free”. It combines those songs from her first CD “New Start”, which were released separately for radio airplay. The german Jazz-Zeitung described the CD, which was published in September 2015 by Herbie Martin Music, as “the perfect album for mild summer evenings on the balcony”. With her clear and light voice Rieke Katz makes her own pop-jazz-compositions shine.
At the age of 16 she studied singing with Reiner Hilby at the local music school in Nagold. There she also performed as a soloist with the jazz combo MS Groove and the music school big band.
Later Rieke Katz studied pop and jazz vocals with Fola Dada and Reinette van Zijtveld-Lustig at the Nuremberg college of music, where she received profound artistical and pedagogical training as well. After graduating in July 2013 Rieke Katz additionally studied jazz piano in Nuremberg until July 2015.
Accompanying her studies Rieke Katz was teaching at the technical college Musication in Nuremberg and at music schools in Baden-Baden, Karlsruhe and Waghäusel-Hambrücken. Since living in Karlsruhe she is employed as teacher for voice training and singing as well as choirmaster at the nearby music school in Waghäusel-Hambrücken.
Apart from being in demand as a soloist at home and abroad Rieke Katz mainly performs with her band or in more intimate line-ups with her christmas duo or the dinner-jazz duo Voice Lounge.
