	ERK "ERK? That’s not a name, it is a sound!" This is what everybody told young Erk Wiemer wherever he travelled. But fortunately this didn’t harm his musical talent at all. On the contrary: If people thought his surname sounds really good – why not put a soundtrack to the person? ERK. Simple, effective, catchy and international – just like his music. Following the musical paths of Aztec Camera, Randy Newman, the late John Lennon as well as Ben Folds, ERK now travels the ever colourful and always entertaining road of pure pop music. Erk’s ability to catch good grooves and seducing melodies didn’t come across by accident. His experience as a cocktail bar piano player tought him how to fool around with classical elements from Bossa Nova to Jazz Standards. "Piano, bass and drums – I don’t think I really need any other instruments!", Erk says today. Looking at the 12 tracks of his album „Far From The World“, the man has a good point. Listen to the uplifting „Swing’n Sway“, sing along to „Annie“ or check out his heartfelt cover of Tears For Fears’ “Shout”: Right on! Try to get „.A Girls Named Boo“ or „Pride Of The Parade“ out of your head: No chance! ERK’s album is full of surprises, production and arrangements get to the point. Here’s a unique and sophisticated piano player, composer and singer who never loses the complete picture. This is pure POP! more info: www.erk-music.com
