Music, Miles & Magic

Our film is finally finished. It describes our four and a half year journey around the world by boat and bus and tells the story of all the adventures we experienced. It is all about the wonderful people we met, about freedom and friendship, and about how music magically connects everything.
We'll be live on tour with our movie! There will be music and some more stories to tell. For the whole shedule and tickets look on our tourpage.
