Micart

The three musicians of MICART – headed by mastermind Mick B. Hardt – have always loved playing with opposites: A pinch of “retro” with a modern twist. Music that invites you to both listening and dancing. Uncomplicated, honest, with a true passion for handmade music. The trio knows how to stage contrasts, with its music being full of harmony, but with the right amount of edges. Singer and guitarist Mick B. Hardt’s skills seem to know no boundaries, including artful fingerpicking and rough rock riffs. Markus “Maggi” Gerold on drums and Claus Zöllner on bass not only complete Mick’s excesses, they transform them into a thrilling and exciting musical phenomenon that tastes like the freedom we all yearn for.
The songs written by Mick B. Hardt meld Rock’n’Roll in the manner of Status Quo with those great hymns of bands like Volbeat and manage to combine artful guitar playing and that famous rough trio-sound that caused a sensation back in the Swinging Sixties.
“Made in Bavaria” is the band’s motto: Mick is not only the musical leader of the trio, he also takes on the responsibilities for recording, producing and mixing, holding the whole process in the hands that usually glide along the guitar-strings of his Telecaster.
