Virginia Jetzt! formed in Leipzig in 2008 around singer-songwriter Franziska Stürmer and musician Konrad Henkel. Their debut album 'Der Sommer in mir' came out in 2010, with the track 'Ein ganzer Sommer' gaining attention for its melodic pull and direct lyrics.
Their music works with folk, pop, and electronic textures, often circling themes of love and loss. Stürmer's voice carries these songs, like 'In der Finsternis' and '2 Minuten,' over atmospheric arrangements that feel more intimate than grand.
Over time, the lineup has included bassist Stefan Wentzke, drummer Florian Zwiener, and keyboardist Elisa Wackerbauer. They've played shows with artists like Gisbert zu Knyphausen, including a set at the Reeperbahn Festival in 2017.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
