Trailhead

Born and raised in East Berlin, Tobias Panwitz, aka Trailhead weaves his songs around journeys through various parts of the world and musings on relations past and present. While roadside encounters pass by the listener, Trailhead recounts his travels along Spanish caminos, Swedish islands, Baltic coast lines, Latvian rivers and American scenery. Echoing the folky americana sound of the 60s & 70s classics, the songs strip down, in his solo sets, to their calmer self of story and melody, accompanied by Panwitz' folky guitar and finger picking, piano, hamonica and ukulele. Together with his warm yet powerful vocal delivery, Trailhed's music relates to the sound of artists like Crowded House, Ron Sexsmith, Neil Young and Jackson Browne. On his latest album “Bodies In The Basement” Trailhead combines folk pop with soaring harmonies and dreadnought melodies, focusing on the hidden and concealed areas of the soul, revealed only between the lines of the songs. Like Skeletons in the closet. Bodies in the basement.
