Following several massive tours of Europe, performing in countless clubs, galleries and shops across the entire continent for several months now, WINO and CONNY OCHS will bring their Heavy Kingdom tour to American soil this Summer!
With shows now confirmed in twenty-two cities across the U.S. this August, the two artists will perform together playing their soulful, folk/rock collaborative LP Heavy Kingdom in its entirety and more each night.
The entire Heavy Kingdom LP can be streamed via label home Exile On Mainstream AT THIS LOCATION.
The legacy of SCOTT “WINO” WEINRICH in the world of heavy music is indisputable and ever-evolving, and here he teams up with CONNY OCHS, a songwriter so pure and honest in his output that he seems to be the perfect partner for WEINRICH. The two met for the first time in 2010 when OCHS was supporting WINO on his acoustic solo tour promoting his acclaimed solo album, Adrift. Together the two wrote, performed and recorded an incredible set of soulful tunes as well as a Townes Van Zandt cover track, which would become their first collaborative album, Heavy Kingdom. The artwork contains drawings by both WEINRICH and OCHS, and follows the dedicated and deeply personal approach of the whole album.

“Wino & Conny Ochs are
spectacular musicians and, even on just an acoustic record, they prove
that they are skilled, masterful musicians who cannot be labeled. They
exceed labels, they exceed life. They are music, they are geniuses.
Amazing work.10/10″ – American Aftermath
“…the simple fact that it was
recorded in the 21st century makes it somehow more profound. It feels
timeless. Heavy Kingdom is the sound of depth; one that comes from
stubbornly following your road no matter where it leads. 4/5″ – All
Music Guide
“…a stark, spirited caravan with two quirky singer-songwriters. Shine on. 8/10″ – Outburn
“…doom master Wino continues his
foray into folk and with the pairing of Ochs definitely hits new levels
of songwriting nirvana. 8/10″ – The Montreal Mirror
“With varying levels of energy, as
well as mixed soothing performances, Heavy Kingdom makes for a fantastic
release for any mood. The duo of Wino & Conny Ochs is clearly the
perfect combination… 9.5/10″ – Apoch’s Metal Review
