guitarist. bass player.
songwriter. md. earthling.
Born and raised in Berlin, Lars Cölln grew up with a variety of multicultural influences.
He started out on the drums at the age of 8 and switched to guitar at 13, keeping rhythm as his main approach and Stewart Copeland’s hihat in his heart.
Fluent in many musical languages, he is revealing an individual accent while always listening to what a song might need. (In fact, listening might be one of his key skills). Lars is said to have meditated the sentence “Funk is what you don’t play” (Fred Wesley) for two years in the mountains.
He is a highly demanded studio guitarist and bassist as well as an internationally touring sideman, yet a humble player with abundant love for music.

After playing gigs with Elif and Kiddo Kat earlier this year, the request came to play guitar with Yvonne Catterfeld. We had a great tour in march playing shows in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It was a terrific band and crew and I was happy to learn that Yvonne is
