Lineup

– rocking his trusty Shure SM 58 Beta A microphone and a Takamine acoustic guitar live on stage

Michael Saxe is the vocalist in the BOWIE tribute lineup, and he supplies some acoustic guitar as well where needed. Michael started playing guitar at 13 years of age, and his first major influences were Jimi Hendrix and Jimi Page. The latter primarily for his acoustic playing. Michaels first band was formed in the 8th grade and named themselves 2late – an inside joke referring to the bands keen sense of time…(!) Later on Michael joined other bands, and he always found it hard to find decent singers, so he ended up just doing it himself. A development that led him to the discovery, that he was actually more interested in writing music and singing, than he was in being a great lead guitarist.

Michaels musical influences are numerous and range from bands like Faith No More and TOOL over Sublime, Jeff Buckley and – of course – David Bowie, whom he discovered when he picked up a used copy of “The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars” in a small record shop at Vesterbro in Copenhagen. He was completely blown away and never looked back. Michael has a temper and loves attitude and commitment. He also loves reading, writing and running.

Michaels secret performer alias is “Michael Rossmore” on the music scene of LA, USA.

– Singing live at an intimate concert, her Shure Beta 58A in hand

Vibeke Moos Kühle is the backing vocalist of the BOWIE tribute lineup. She’s been singing since the age of 9 when she first joined a classical choir at the local church. She joined her first pop-rock band when she was 23 years old. From then on, she’s been exploring many different genres through pop-rock bands, gospel (Kefas choir, Just Us and Mercy bands), jazz, flamenco and Bulgarian choir music (Usmifka).

She especially enjoys working with other singers to create beautiful harmonies – sometimes in a cappella contexts with the barbershop groups Satin Dolls and Side by Side. Since 2022, she’s developed a passion for performing in musicals on the amateur stage where she discovered that she has a knack for acting.

Vibeke’s first meeting with David Bowie’s music may have been his unforgettable guest appearance in the movie Christiane F from 1981 where he performs Station to Station. Both the music and artist were so cool! The title music from Cat People sung by Bowie also left an impression. Later on, especially Bowie’s album Scary Monsters was on repeat. But hey, he’s been writing great music spanning over many decades. Just listen for yourself!

– playing his Gold Top Gibson Les Paul into his Vox AC 30 amp live on stage

John Kenneth is the lead guitarist of the BOWIE tribute lineup. Born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden, John Kenneth has been playing music for more than 35 years starting out on the drums.

At the age of 11, inspired by Tom Jones, Beatles and of course David Bowie, John Kenneth started playing the guitar. Later on he toured Sweden  as the drummer in a dance band and continued to play with artists such as Jonas Hellborg. For a number of years John Kenneth resided in London performing with the band Picture of You as the guitarist and the lead vocalist alongside Glenn Johansson (who later formed the british band Echobelly) – amongst many gigs the band was supporting act to Bryan Adams at the legendary Marquee Club in London.

Today John Kenneth is focused on the guitar, but he still plays the drums an does a little singing on occasion. Besides being a big fan of the French soccer club Paris Saint Germain and particularly the swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

– swinging his black and beautiful Music Man Stingray bass guitar

Frank Larsen is the bass player in the BOWIE tribute. Apart from studying to be a psychologist, Frank is a true musician who for many years toured Denmark being the bass player in different dance bands. 

Frank has for many years trusted his truly beautiful danish produced Mørch bass guitar amplified through his Trace Elliot bass amp and speakers producing a warm, deep  and full sound to please our ears. Early influenced in his musical career by bands such as Toto, Chicago, Boston, Michael McDonald but also more progressive styles as found in Dream Theater and Swedish band A.C.T and on a more hard note; Franklin Zoo, Shotgun Revolution and so on…

– definitely satisfied behind his Hammond keyboard live on stage

Søren Moos Kühle is the keyboard player in the BOWIE tribute lineup. As a seasoned session and live player, Søren has provided his talents for numerous artists in the last 30 years. He is an accomplished synth-programmer with a keen ear for interesting and expressive sound-design. When he started as part-time keyboardplayer in The Bowie-tribute a special bond with the music was formed. Søren revels in David Bowies materials with his own unique twists but in full hommage to the Thin White Duke.

– playing his golden Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute drums and his shiny Sabian HHX cymbals live on stage

Lars Bertelsen is the drummer in the BOWIE tribute lineup. He started playing the drums in primary school at the age of seven taught by his english and music teacher legendary Tom McEwan. Lars has been active as a drummer ever since, amounting to almost 40 years of playing. In highschool he borrowed his brothers vintage Ludwig jazz kit and started his first band. At the age of 18 he bought his own first kit, a brand new Gretsch US Custom.
In his early twenties Lars switched to Yamaha Recording Custom, and today he plays a gold sparkle Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute and Sabian HHX cymbals. He still keeps the Recording Custom for special occasions.

Lars came across David Bowie at the age of 13 years of age when visiting his cousin listening to “Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars” – and Lars never stopped listening!

Besides playing the drums, Lars loves watching Blue Velvet by David Lynch and drinking Scotch single malt whiskey while eating chocolate.
