Jeff Aug: An Attempt To A Record

[Durium]

JEFF AUG

Within a few weeks, on the 13th of March 2009, Jeff Aug will release his fourth solo guitar album, titled Living Room Sessions. Jeff Aug is an acoustic instrumental fingerstyle guitar player with a tremendous technique.

To promote a new album artist organise tours along venues, to show their fans the music of their latest album. So does Jeff Aug. But for this album he didn't chose for an old stand-by-run-of-the-mill number. No, you won't find Jeff in a weary fortnight tour along a dozen venues, but in a full European tour, labeled as the Wounded Fingers Tour 2009, in one day (!), which means 6 concerts in six countries within 24 hours.

These are the countries scheduled for this attempt on a record for the famous Guinness Book of World Records in the category: Most concerts Performed in Different Countries in 24 hours: On the 13th of March (Jeff's birthday) he’ll perform at 7.00 am in Liechtenstein, at 9.00 am in Switzerland, two hours later in Austria and at 1.00 p.m. in Germany. In the afternoon Jeff Aug will perform in Verviers in Belgium (at 2.00 am) and this short, but intensive tour, will be concluded in De Nieuwe Nor in Heerlen (The Netherlands).

Jeff Aug has successfully set the world record "most concerts performed in different countries in 24 hours" by performing 6 x concerts in 6 x different European countries on the 13th and 14th of March 2009. He started at 7 pm in Vaduz, Liechtenstein on 13.March and ended at 6 pm in Heerlen, Netherlands on 14.March 2009. According to Jeff, the "Wounded Fingers World Record Tour" was incredibly exhilarating. The audience in Vaduz, Liechtenstein was thin, but enthusiastic. In St. Gallen, Switzerland, the touring party ended up driving to the wrong address (the promoter´s home instead of the club), but then quickly worked out the right address and parked right in front of the venue, jumped out of the van, and Jeff performed show number 2. Show number 3 was in front of a Friday night theater audience in Dornbirn, Austria. The drive to Immenstadt, Germany took the band through the Bregenzerwald (Bregenz Forest) over the Alps through heavy fog. These first 4 shows were back-to-back from van to stage to van to the next venue, topping off with an incredible concert in front of a massive crowd at the Rainbow in Immenstadt, Germany. The tour crew then set off on a 7.5 hour drive to Belgium through the night. On 14.March, Jeff woke up with a stiff arm. The record was set in Verviers, Belgium (5 concerts was needed to set the record), and then signed, sealed, and delivered a hair-raising performance at show number 6 in Heerlen, Netherlands which Jeff performed with a bandaged arm.
