byebye is the band of the two singers and songwriters Oliver Haas (* 1988) and Tim Ludwig (* 1982) from Leipzig , who usually appear with two acoustic guitars , two-part vocals and German lyrics. The music, referred to as "acoustic pop" by the duo themselves, ranges between pop music , funk and singer-songwriter music and is very much influenced by the musicians' percussive guitar playing. The characteristic live sound of byebye results from the mixture of western and concert guitar .

history

The two singers met during their school days at the Max Klinger School in Leipzig. After studying to become a teacher at the University of Leipzig , they decided to say goodbye to their future as teachers, to found a band and put their songs on stage together. Their first appearance as byebye was on October 26th, 2011 at the Songslam by Julius Fischer and Tim Thoelke in the Moritzbastei Leipzig.

Byebye is largely responsible for the studio recordings, after the first CD was produced entirely in the living room with five point five songs . Byebye releases his albums on the specially founded label "Kopf an, Tür auf".

After the radio stations MDR Figaro and Deutschlandfunk invited the duo to the stage of the Theaterkahn in Dresden and the debut album You know why was declared CD of the week on the cultural radio of the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk in August 2013, the band also received first attention on the nationwide broadcaster Deutschlandradio kultur .

In the wake of the boom in the poetry slam scene, byebye won numerous songwriter slam events throughout Germany where musicians compete.

Their living room concert tour took the two songwriters through over 200 private apartments in over 30 cities across Germany. In 2013 byebye toured with a band, in 2014 and 2015 as a duo through clubs and concert locations in 25 cities and could be heard in the opening act of Alin Coen , Colin Hay , Dota and Phrasenmower among others .
