“It was amazing,” Dominique Lichti exclaims excitedly. A video showing the goosebumps moment is trending on social media.

For 15 years, Lichtty and his friend Dan Maude have been out on the streets making music, especially during the winter months. “We don’t like sitting in the office and planning, we’re just outside and playing,” says Liechti, founder and owner of the event agency Bearbeat GmbH in Thun. During the pandemic, Liechti and Mud have each played more than 250 terrace concerts: “Playing in the streets in the cold is hard work. But we just love it.”

This past Saturday, Liechti and Dan Mudd performed live at Cornhausplatz With guitar and cajun songs for the Bern audience. “At first it was a concert like any other,” says the music entrepreneur. However, half an hour later, a “crazy moment,” as Liechti calls it, occurs: halfway through “Tennessee Whiskey,” three women join the duet and begin to accompany a guitar melody with backing vocals. “We couldn’t believe how compatible he was.” The women perform the song with Swiss musicians, and the audience gets excited about the melody and the moment.
