Marriage Material - eine sensationelle neue Band aus Berlin! Köpfe und Begründer des Quartetts sind Drummer Felix Lehrmann und Bassist Thomas Stieger. Der finnische Gitarrist Arto Mäkelä und der Österreicher Raphael Meinhart an Vibraphon, Marimba und Synths geben diesem Quartett seine einzigartige Färbung.

Produzent von Joe Zawinul) nahm als Executive Producer des Albums die Band unter Vertrag. Herausgekommen sind brillante Kompositionen – hochenergetische, tiefgründige und eigenständige Ansagen an den Jazz. Musik, die vielschichtige Bilder und Stimmungen produziert. Freuen Sie sich auf einen herausragenden Abend dieses „Cinematic Jazz“ Ensembles und auf vier der besten Musiker der jungen, europäischen Szene.
Born 1984 in a small town called Halberstadt, Felix´ family moved to Berlin, when he was about three years old. At the same time he started to play the drums. As son of a well known guitar player and thus growing up in a musical family, his childhood was a never-ending jam session between Felix and his dad Michael Lehrmann – which lasts up to this day. Taking only private lessons with different teachers through the years, Felix found in Kenny Martin 2001 not only a mentor but also a good friend.
After playing in numerous semi-pro bands, Felix Lehrmann started his professional career at the age of 17, when playing his first european tour with a singer called Della Miles. He still had to go to school for two more years to receive his graduation in 2004, but in the meantime he could not be stopped to play as many gigs and studio session as he could (or as many as his mother, who is a school teacher, allowed him to do). After finishing school, Felix immediately went on tour with a german TV star and singer Yvonne Catterfeld, which lasted for two years.
From that point on, he never looked back and ever since his schedule has been filled with tours, studio dates and clinics around the globe!Until now Felix has recorded and/or toured with
