Markus Hamence is in The Jungle Room with Jerome Reuter a.k.a ROME
For 20 years Jerome Reuter a.k.a ROME has been a force to reckon with in the musical underground. Through relentless touring and a steady stream of high quality concept albums, ROME has built a remarkably loyal following from Berlin to LA, from Sydney to Saigon, from Lisbon to Kyiv.
The Luxembourg born singer-songwriter has created an authoritative body of work encompassing more than 20 full-length albums and numerous other official releases. ROME’s compelling brand of Dark Folk merges various musical influences from Post-Punk to Chanson.
Lyrically inspired by world literature from Burroughs to Brecht, Celine to Cioran, from Hesse to Jünger; ROME’s detailed, well-researched, yet particularly accessible concept albums combine his interest in history, philosophy and the arts in a most compelling way. Through his unique vision he has managed to establish his very own musical niche informed by various European folk and Chanson traditions coupled with post punk and industrial influences.
The intimate version of ROME live on stage is JEROME Reuter solo on acoustic guitar. The other one is a loud full-band not refraining from sing-along hymns and thundering up-tempo beats.
With several new releases from 2025 in tow, ROME is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a series of special shows in Australia next month.
“I am extremely thrilled to finally have the opportunity to tour Australia and meet ROME’s loyal supporters there after 20 years”
