Kai Nepolsky – Construction Mechanic, Boss, Saxon-Swabian And Drummer In a sailor’s choir.

The Königsbrunner sailors‘ choir sings mainly German and very few English shanties – Hans Albers sends his regards. In 2021 it already celebrated its 30th anniversary. Like many choirs, it suffers from an acute lack of young talent. At 47, Kai Nepolsky is a full 24 years below the average age. Choir leader Andreas Lübcke, who has a 2 hour commute each time for the weekly choir rehearsals on Thursdays, would therefore be very happy to hear from more potentially interested people.

Even as a child, Kai made music. Not as a singer, but as a drummer. In Berlin, he was a drummer in a band that played rockabilly, rock ‘n roll and western swing. That’s why he gladly took over the role of drummer on the drums or rather the cajon (which is uninspiringly also called “box drum” in English) in the sailors’ choir when his predecessor quit. Now he also sets the pace in choir and sings along quietly in the background. A role that he enjoys.
