"Ce diable d'homme évolue et propose un univers qui voisine ceux de Tom Waits et de Nick Cave." -LEDEVOIR
„A phenomenon!” – CLASSIC ROCKS
“Daniel Welbat does such a perfect job conjuring up an American kind of spirit that no one would guess for even one second that Heartbeast was the work of a German musician. Tom Waits, Steve Earle and Mark Oliver Everett all seem to have inspired these exuberant blues and jazz rock pieces.“

This voice sounds like a hundred lives. Daniel Welbat sings as if he had hung out in the darkest bars for years. With his five-man band, the extroverted frontman brings a brilliant sound to the stage that thrills both the audience and the press.
WellBad's cross-genre mix of roots rock, jazz, blues and hip hop has brought the Hamburg band onto the international stage within a short time.

At the legendary Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada, on Beale Street in Memphis (USA) or in other European countries: WellBads performances are celebrated. „Ce diable d’homme évolue et propose un univers qui voisine ceux de Tom Waits et de Nick Cave.“ -LEDEVOIR (Montreal)
(„This jack-of-all-trades creates a universe comparable to that of Tom Waits and Nick Cave“)
With their brand new album "HEARTBEAST" in their luggage, WellBad is now touring Germany.

WellBad shows feel like a trip through heaven and hell that doesn't leave out any sensation and touches you deeply. Daniel Welbat and his band live their songs on stage, taking their audience on an intense and intoxicating hunt for stories and dreams.
