The group was originally formed in 2006 by two experienced and perfectly matching musicians: Christi (...) Mehr anzeigenan von Salomon (acoustic, electric, and synthesizer guitars, mandolin, vocals), on the one hand, is a highly talented guitarist, whose roots are acoustic fingerstyle guitar music as well as classic Rock and Blues. His counterpart Ulf Hilzenbecher (acoustic guitars, lead vocals, Irish bouzouki, cittern, bodhràn, whistles) is quite an institution in Folk Rock. He was a founding member of the band »Glaz« in the late 80ies (not to be confused with its Breton namesake from the same era. Some band members met a few times, however). He also formed the Folkrock six-piece »Trouz« about 15 years ago.

Within next to no time, Sainge gained an outstanding reputation for their inspiring shows and have won a solid fan base. »Pubs and Stages«, the first album of the duo, was released in 2008. Recorded live it nicely conveys the inimitable atmosphere of a Sainge performance.

In 2010, Sainge turned into a full-blown 6-piece band and played numerous shows until the pandemic brought all activities to a sudden end.
Following a four year break, Christian and Ulf decided to start all over again and were joined by percussionist Thomas Roemer. Sainge have started to play public shows again in early 2025. Weniger anzeigen
