Constanze Friend and Thomas Fellow have been performing successfully together on stage for 35 years.
The duo was formed in 1991, although the two artists had already met in the 1980s. Friend N Fellow’s early days were shaped by the influences of various music legends, such as Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, and Luther Allison, for whom they served as the opening act on tour. To this day, they still consider Allison in particular to be one of their most important sources of inspiration.
Friend N Fellow captivate their audience with a refreshing mix of genres: whether jazz, blues, funk, soul, pop, or country, they aren’t afraid to fuse different musical styles and have plenty of surprises in store on their setlist. And yet Constanze Friend and Thomas Fellow remain true to their signature style, whether through the unique blend of voice and guitar, heartfelt songwriting, or original cover interpretations.
When Friend N Fellow take the stage, an atmosphere full of warmth and soul fills both the stage and the audience. At the same time, their passionate live performances are a veritable explosion of joy that captivates their audience. With that energy, they regularly fill jazz clubs, concert halls, and open-air venues throughout Germany and internationally.
To date, Friend N Fellow have released 13 albums. Now, 2026 will mark the beginning of a new era. The duo’s 35th anniversary will be celebrated with their third cover album, “re:covered,” set for release in October 2026, along with an accompanying tour.
