Grizzly Bird

Grizzly Bird is the moniker of singer/songwriter Hans Gnendinger, who grew up between the mountains and castles of southern Bavaria. Known for his skills on the acoustic guitar and his relatable storytelling through songs, he's been a solid part of the Berlin folk scene for many years. Hans' songs delve deep into the essence of being human, bringing out poetry and bizareness, a bit of melancholy and often some subtle humour. Completing the line-up are Nils Wenzel on bass and Florian Dietrich on drums.
