- **Event Description**: KENT NIELSEN (DK) – Ukulele Folk Punk / Singer/Songwriter! 
After the successful release of his solo debut album 'Shotgun Seat DJ' (2016), the autobiographical memoir ‘How I Didn’t Turn Out a Dancer’ (2018) and Ukes of Tomorrow’s ‘Seconds of Our Lives’ (2022), Kent Nielsen is gearing up to release his next solo album, entitled 'Too Many Train Rides.’ The new album features ten songs co-written with Stefan Kletetzka, Helge Reich (R.I.P.), Torsten 'Totti' Scharfenberg, Nik 21 and Jens C. Möller, most of whom can be heard performing on the album. Additionally, the musical 
appearances are rounded out by guest musicians Ginger Wade and Luise Schitteck. Five more songs are covers of tunes by Justin Townes Earle, Shelby Lynne, Kirsty MacColl, The Mekons, and Allison Moorer. 
Two songs were engineered by Nik 21 and one by Thorsten Luck. The remaining songs were produced by Joszi Sorokowski (who has worked with everyone from Bobby Byrd and Ukes of Tomorrow to Pressgang and many more) in his studio in Elmshorn, Northern Germany. Kent Nielsen is Danish but lives in Lübeck (Northern Germany). He’s worn an array of hats in his life: author, percussionist, shoe shop clerk, record label guy, mail order honcho, night porter and ukulele player, as only a sampling.

- Since going solo in 2016, Kent Nielsen has played literally hundreds of club shows and house concerts across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, England, Italy, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands, including support slots for: The Ruts DC, The Mekons, TV Smith, Peter and the Test Tube Babies and Hamburg Glam Rock legends GERD.
- Festivals include (multiple) appearances at: Rebellion Blackpool (UK), Kirstyfest UK), Thinking Pink Festival (UK), Punk Rock BBQ (UK), Rebellion Amsterdam (NL), Nostalgurato Fest (DK), Sojus 7 Boat Trip (GER) and the Winterswijk Ukulele Hotspot (NL), just to name a few.
- Together with Stefan Kletetzka, he co-wrote the song ‘Day of Reckoning for Who?’ for the English documentary ‘On Resistance Street’, which is being shown at various film festivals throughout the world.
- In a set developed especially for his autobiographical memoir,  "How I Didn‘t Turn Out a Dancer," he mixes Danish Punk Rock classics re-arranged for the uke, together with reading excerpts from "How I Didn‘t Turn Out a Dancer“ between the songs.

“My dear friend Danny K. said the following when she heard the album teaser track: “ ‘Losing Friday’ created an image in my mind of setting off, travelling. Sitting in the car or on the train and letting the snapshots/impressions from outside have their effect on my inner self.” I thought about this sentence, and perhaps it more or less describes the whole album. At any rate, I would be very happy if that were the case!” (Kent Nielsen)
