Dieter Thomas Kuhn (born 7 January 1965 in Tübingen , bourgeois Thomas Kuhn ) is a German musician. He became popular as a successful representative of the Schlager revival of the 1990s . He received the nickname The Singing Föhnwelle .

Kuhn and his band, called "Chapel", began to cover 1994 German hits of the seventies. At the beginning he traveled through small clubs, at the then officially declared end of his Schlagerkarriere 1999 he played at large open-air concerts in part before 15,000 spectators.

Dieter Thomas Kuhn & Band helped the German Schlager to a certain point and to a respect far beyond the national borders. Until 1999 four albums were released. He won the German Record Prize in 1997 and the following year.

In 1995 he was alongside Esther Schweins main actor in the film comedy Der Trip - The naked guitar 0.5 .

On 9 December 2004 Kuhn made his comeback in the Hamburger Markthalle with his old Schlager repertoire, followed by a total of seven concerts until the late summer 2005. These were mostly sold out within a few hours.

Fan calls stopped Kuhn & Band to continue. The live VHS, released in 1999, was reworked and released as a comeback as a DVD. In December 2004, Kuhn released the solo CD Favorite Christmas Songs .
