Winter at the Stadthalle is going to be hot
There are meteorologists who talk about the weather, and there are musicians who simply create the weather. For Hockenheim, this means preparing for a hot autumn and an even hotter winter: With three impressive programs, the Stadthalle in the racing town will be working to bring more temperatures to the city in the coming months.
Those who missed the original Tina Turner at the SAP Arena will surely flock to a "Tina Turner Show." "Typical Tess" is the stand-in for the eternally youthful icon. Behind this name is Tess D. Smith, a vivacious singer from the Philippines, whose voice almost makes you forget the original.

Much more than just a copy of the rock diva
Unbridled temperament, which, together with her smoky, deep voice and dream figure, has become the trademark of the now 69-year-old: Tina Turner is a case in her own right. "Inimitable," fans of the grande dame of rock and soul may be convinced, that no one can follow in her footsteps. But there is one who dares to step into them, despite her high heels: Maritess Dabasol Smith, aka Tess D. Smith.
Her stage show "Typical Tess" is far more than a tribute to the singing legend: It is a top-class show – perfectly suited for the live music club in the town hall.

Tess is not a cover, but a new Tina.
She is the undisputed, unsurpassed, and probably unattainable rock icon of the 20th century – with over 180 million records sold, also one of the most successful singers of our time: The show "The Soul of Tina" paid tribute to Tina Turner, born in the United States and now living in Switzerland, who turns 74 tomorrow, on Friday evening at the Stadthalle.
Until late into the night, Maritess Dabasol Smith, originally from the Philippines, and her band celebrated a piece of music history that couldn't have been more captivating and authentic, but also more exciting and original.
This wasn't a mere homage; Tess D. rocked her way from one highlight to the next with her six musicians, a backing vocalist, and four dancers, turning each of Turner's well-known top hits into a unique number.Unbridled temperament, which, together with her smoky, deep voice and dream figure, has become the trademark of the now 69-year-old: Tina Turner is a case in her own right.
