Prepare to be swept into a sonic adventure with The Trouble Notes, the genre-defying trio who turn folk traditions, world rhythms and progressive sounds into an electrifying live experience! Based in Berlin but rooted in travels around the globe, violinist Bennet Cerven, guitarist Florian Eisenschmidt and percussionist Oliver Maguire blend folk, rock, hip-hop grooves, tribal beats and acoustic energy to create music that’s as emotionally powerful as it is wildly danceable.
Their sound—described as indie-world fusion or “Acoustic Dance Music”—draws on influences from Americana and traditional folk to modern rhythms and urban styles, highlighted in tracks like Banjolorian, Grand Masquerade and Turkish Delight.
From viral street performances to headline festival stages across Europe and beyond, The Trouble Notes have built a devoted following known as “Troublemakers,” uniting fans through joyous, vibrant music and storytelling.
The Trouble Notes at Tunes in the Dunes 2026 is more than a gig—it’s a journey through sound and culture, where heart-felt melodies, infectious rhythms and a border-crossing ethos come together for a truly unforgettable performance.
