Jesper Munk - there is almost nobody in the German indie scene who´s never heard of him. But where to start, how to categorise and where to end? Jesper Munk is far from finished, quite the opposite. At the age of 31, the search for his own sonic landscape has proven successful, which becomes very clear at his concerts aswell as on record. A lot has happened in the last 12 years and Jesper's story is one of many ups and downs, shifts and turns, from the bluesy supernova to a hip but underrated crooner, from a teenage poster boy to an established and matured singer/songwriter.

The Return of...
Jesper Munk! In 2024, the German-Dane, who lives in Berlin, is taking off again in all his facets. He has reconciled himself with parts of his early work, especially to the great delight of his blues fans, whom he inspired right at the beginning of his career as tour support for Eric Burdon, among others. Which is why all those who have sorely missed the classics from "Morning Coffee" and "Clean" to "Shakespeare And Heartbreak" and "Courage For Love" at his concerts in recent years will now get their money's worth again. In total, Jesper Munk can look back on just over 40,000 records sold and with the streaming monopolist alone, he has a total of 36 million streams, with just under 150,000 monthly listeners and almost 40,000 followers. In 2019, Jesper Munk co-founded the post-punk/kink-jazz underground band P.D.O.A. (Public Display Of Affection) and shortly afterwards also joined the Berlin art-noise cult band Plattenbau. Both bands definitely had a positive influence on his musical horizon and the future prospects of his solo career.
Jesper Munk has also recorded a new album. After the highly acclaimed cover album "Taped Heart Sounds", he is back, this time with his own songs. "YESTERDAZE" will be released in October 2024 with its delicate lo-fi vs hi-fi production that warms the soul and heart of every indie aficionado. The production was handled by Jesper himself this time around. It features a colourful crooner's bouquet somewhere between jazz and new wave, chanson, balladic blues and plenty of soul. He was once again supported by The Cassette Heads, who will also accompany him live on tour.
