“Although it might be tempting to compare Till Kahrs to David Hasselhoff, the similarities begin and end with the facts that both men are signed to German record labels and have sung hit songs in Germany.His “bread and butter” has been his independent corporate consulting business, specializing in communication skills. However, Kahrs is no stranger to performing music. “In the early to mid-1990s, I started performing covers and my original songs on the coffeehouse circuit,” Kahrs said. “I play rhythm guitar and I’d describe my sound as country, country rock, acoustic and a little bit of folk.” Kahrs toured in the summers of 1994 and 1995 to promote his hit songs, “Playin’ For Keeps” and “Slow Burn Woman.”When the album is released, Kahrs said he would enjoy playing locally — but he still loves his day job.For information about Kahrs’s consulting and training company, visit www.TheTrainer4u.com.

“The low-key atmosphere of Orange County's coffeehouses is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the high-energy ambience of the Crazy Horse Steak House, but Till Kahrs made the transition with ease Monday night. In his 70-minute, 15-song set, the local cafe favorite proved that his music loses none of its appeal when plugged into a full six-piece country band. Starting with his good-natured honky-tonk anthem "Heartache Band-Aid," Kahrs and his Heartache Band ran through most of the material on his new CD, "Playing for Keeps." The set was Kahrs' last stand locally before he tours Europe, where the CD's title track is a radio hit. (His European popularity brings Kahrs' life full circle: Although he grew up in Placentia, he was born in Germany.) As a songwriter, Kahrs is a master of hooks; his best numbers, such as "Rekindle the Flame," "Playin' for Keeps" and "The Joke's on Me," are peppered with catchy phrases. ”

“Born in Germany. Raised in Orange County. Till K. Kahrs doesn't have the likeliest of country-music pedigrees. What's more, he didn't even discover he liked country music until he was nearing 30. But despite the late start and the not-quite-Nashville roots, the singer-songwriter keeps forging ahead, with tunes that range from sentimental tales of love gone wrong to more tongue-in-cheek looks at life. He has built a local coffeehouse following and even landed a Top 10 country hit back in his native Germany. The biggest break in his stateside career comes Monday, when he and his band headline the Crazy Horse Steak House in Santa Ana. The title song was a hit on German country radio, which Kahrs said has a surprisingly large following. Since returning from Europe, the Irvine resident has been a regular on the Orange County coffeehouse circuit, building a local following that he hopes will pack the Crazy Horse.”

“This sold out Crazy Horse Show was a huge success as the LA Times Calendar section reported, "Throughout the evening, Till connected to his fans with his easygoing charm. As much fun to watch as he was to listen to, he moved around the stage punctuating his music with energy that seemed to flow naturally." Till Kahrs returned to The Crazy Horse in 1995 for another big sold out headliner show, before heading off on his second European tour. This time he received local television coverage and the show proved to be another big hit with critics and fans alike.”

“He has also invited some music industry executives, hoping the Crazy Horse gig (which came up suddenly when another headliner canceled) will serve as a showcase. He has started distributing the German album himself to local record shops, and "Playing for Keeps" has seen some airplay on country station KIK-FM, but his goal is still to land a major record deal.In the meantime, he continues to work the European connection. He goes back to record his follow-up album in June and will also tour the continent, expecting to be gone at least three months. Landing the German record deal "was really my first big break," Kahrs said. "The next step for me is to get a spot on German television."”
