Since then, he has continued to perform countless concerts, and Hungary has become one of his homes. In 2019, he released an album titled “Small World,” featuring songs that explore the spectrum of human emotions, including love, travel, daily struggles, passion, loss, aspiration, and vitality.

In 2021, Ripoff Raskolnikov will bless us with a new double live album, showcasing his musical prowess and captivating performances. The Ripoff Raskolnikov Band is known for being among the most exceptional representatives of the Americana style, which blends elements of blues, folk, and singer-songwriter genres in a unique and personal way. Think Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and Steve Earle.

Raskolnikov is a wordsmith who has been living in Hungary for almost 20 years, impressing both locals and expatriates with his sophisticated vocabulary and songwriting skills that rival those of the mentioned gentlemen. His albums have been receiving increasingly positive reviews overseas, earning him a reputation as a highly talented and influential artist.

Accompanied by his group of exceptional session musicians, Ripoff Raskolnikov regularly performs in the region and represented Hungary at the European Blues Challenge in 2022. This serves as a testament to his passion and dedication to delivering outstanding music to his audiences.

Hajógyár kertkoncertek a PIM-ben - Balla-Cz.K. (Platon Karataev duó)

Hajógyár Garden Concerts at PIM - Balla-Cz.K. (Platon Karataev Duo)

The Petőfi Literary Museum has a long tradition of hosting summer programs, and this year is no exception. In partnership with Hajógyár, we are organizing a series of high-quality concerts that promise to be truly special in terms of the venue and the performers. This summer, on four occasions, the museum courtyard and the newly created, impressive space in the Károlyi Garden will be filled with lively melodies.

In August, we will be moving towards a more lyrical direction, as we have invited Balla Gergő and Cz. K. Sebő, the duo behind Platon Karataev, for an intimate garden concert. Platon Karataev, named after Leo Tolstoy’s character, made a name for themselves in the Hungarian underground scene with their performance at the Kikeltető music talent show in 2016. Over the years, the band has delighted audiences with three full-length albums, with their third and first Hungarian-language album titled “Partért kiáltó” revealing a new, experimental and psychedelic side of their music. However, on August 9th, the duo of Balla Gergő and Cz. K. Sebő will perform acoustic renditions of their spiritually infused songs accompanied by an acoustic guitar.

Come and be a part of the vibrant cultural life of the museum! The event will take place in the PIM garden and admission is free! Event Link
