Jakob Hansonis Band

The Jakob Hansonis Band, led by guitarist Jakob Hansonis (a longtime member of Herbert Grönemeyer's band), performs a David Bowie tribute under the title "Space Oddity". Vocals are handled by Pit Hupperten of Bläck Fööss, with Benno Müller v. Hofe (drums), Helmuth Fass (bass) and Andreas Recktenwald (keyboard, vocals) rounding out the lineup. The project began after Bowie's death in 2016, premiering at Cologne's "Blue Shell", and reinterprets his songs in rock-oriented new arrangements rather than straight imitation.
