English cover versions with joy of playing by Willmann, Campos, and Watzik in Graz – including surprises.
As The Tastemakers, US guitarist Kevin D. Campos, Styrian drummer Michael Muck Willmann, and singer-songwriter Chris Watzik come together in Graz for an evening full of joy in playing. On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, a program of English-language rock and pop covers will be created in the familiar atmosphere of the ARTist’s – from well-known classics to songs that surprise the ear.
The common criterion: The songs simply have to be good and fun to play. Kevin D. Campos, with experience alongside Babyface, AJ McLean, and Enrique Iglesias, brings international sophistication and gives the trio a cosmopolitan touch. Michael Muck Willmann stands for rhythmic precision and a piece of Styrian musical tradition – his drumming is palpable live. Chris Watzik complements the ensemble with his warm voice and his love for the stories behind the songs. The cover versions turn into small moments full of emotion and ease – sometimes balladic, sometimes grooving. By the way: The evening is also part of the Graz Region. The combination of international energy and regional familiarity makes it special.
The ARTist's is a cross-genre mix for everyone!
The ARTist’s is a small theater in the Gries district. There, artists can try out their ideas – whether theater, music, dance, or performance. It is an open space for people from different cultures and generations. Artists with a migration background and older people who want to be creatively active are particularly welcome. The goal is for different people to come together and create something new.
