One name. One legacy. One journey.
Imagine an abandoned railway station in the American Midwest. It’s late evening, the rails glisten damply in the pale light, and somewhere a guitar case rattles in the wind. It is the time of the hobos – those travelling men who roamed the country with nothing but a song on their lips and a dream in their luggage. Marc’s great-grandfather was one of them. About 140 years ago, he travelled by train, on foot, taken along by travelling traders, from the south to the north, in search of work – and perhaps also in search of himself.
Amacher Load’ is his legacy.
Not as a history record. Not as a reconstruction. But as an honest, raw reflection of a musical journey. This album is saturated with stories that were never written down – stories that seeped into the ground, were whispered around campfires, shouted into the wind from drawbridges. And now, many generations later, a descendant sings – not to imitate, but to carry on.
The sound? Really. Dirty. Full of groove.
The guitar scratches like gravel under your soles. The voice carries sand from a thousand paths. Bass and drums pulsate like a train on the tracks. The blues is not the decor here – it is the language. Soul pops up like an old friend, funk comes along to bring movement into play. But everything flows together – because this is not a museum. It’s alive.
And the ghosts? They are there.
Not in symbols or clichés. But as a reminder that music is always a carrier – for stories, for origins, for what shapes us, even if it is not spoken. The ancestors do not dance in the stage lights, they whisper in the pauses between the notes. In a bending. In a pause. In a breath before a chorus starts.
Amacher`s load’ is an album about connection.
About what we take with us – in our blood, in our voices, in our hearts. And about what we pass on when we have the courage to tell our stories.
Marc Amacher is the Swiss blues & rock musician who guarantees the finest entertainment. His impressive live performances and his love of melodious and unique blues have made him famous far beyond the country’s borders.
Even at a young age, Marc’s life revolved around the instrument with the 6 strings, his ‘Peaches’ guitar. It was obvious that a musician with so much talent would lead his musical journey in the blues and rock genres. Musical genres that best suit his nature and abilities, but also his passion and authenticity.
Marc Amacher’s music is deeply rooted in the traditions of the blues, but he also brings modern elements and his own creative touch to his songs. His style is raw, honest and penetrating, and he knows how to present the essence of the blues, but also of rock in its purest form.
Marc Amacher became known to a wider audience when he took part in ‘The Voice Of Germany’ in 2016. With his performance, he blew his competitors away right up to the final. His charismatic performances as well as the variability in his voice impressed not only the jury and the audience. Pop star and former Take That member Robbie Williams, who coached Marc of in the semi-final, was also impressed.
Since his appearances on ‘The Voice’, Marc Amacher has worked continuously on his music career. He has toured nationally and internationally through clubs, thrilled audiences at festivals and events, and can count on a growing fan base. Amacher is known for his energetic stage shows, in which he thrills his audience with his technically accomplished guitar work and intense expression. A first-class entertainer. It is therefore not surprising that Eric Clapton has also asked Marc to support his shows in Germany and Austria.
Handmade and unadulterated, but by no means outdated: Marc Amacher fascinates with his very own musical diversity, up close and personal. He lives entertainment.
