Gentlemen Forever and the tour promoter Mewes Entertainment Group GmbH announce their collaboration. The newly formed trio featuring the well-known faces of Erol Sander, Dave Kaufmann, and Francis Fulton-Smith is set to tour in 2026 with the stage program “Mittendrin im Leben”.
With Gentlemen Forever, a new live format is positioned at the intersection of Schlager and Swing: Classic swing elements meet catchy Schlager melodies, staged with style, humor, and a touch of nostalgia. Thematically and aesthetically, the project is based on the great entertainer tradition – serving as a contemporary reference to the legendary “Rat Pack Sound” surrounding Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.
“The Gentlemen Forever are having an enormous amount of fun with their musical adventure and are eager to take the stage to connect closely with the audience. Together with Wolfgang Moroder, we have produced timeless evergreen hits and some fantastic new songs. Erol, Dave, and Francis are working intensively on a witty, entertaining show with style. I’m very pleased with the collaboration with Jan Mewes and his dedicated and professional team.”, reports the manager, Ralf Schedler (RS music consulting GmbH).
The centerpiece is the first stage program “Mittendrin im Leben”. Musically, the repertoire ranges from heartfelt ballads to elegant dance numbers and new interpretations of well-known classics. The goal is a live experience that balances entertainment, closeness to the audience, and a high-quality show aesthetic.
The 2026 tour kicks off on October 23, 2026, with a total of four exclusive live dates.
Jan Mewes states: “Gentlemen Forever represent a blend of voice, style, and stage presence that is becoming more visible in the market. We look forward to accompanying this project as a tour partner and taking the next steps together toward 2026.”
In light of a successful start in ticket sales, discussions are already underway about further intensifying the collaboration.
