Album Notes

Salzburger Echo brings the Alps to their audiences, playing Old World and contemporary folk music from the alpine regions of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. They continue to amaze audiences with their twelve-foot alphorns, Swiss cowbells, holzernes g'lächter and harmony yodeling. Performances in authentic costuming are musically enjoyable and visually exciting! Together since 1992, Salzburger Echo has played many venues and festivals throughout the United States and Europe. They are one of the most sought after Alpine bands in the nation. Festivals such as Oktoberfest in Mt. Angel, Oregon; Snowbird's Annual Oktoberfest (Snowbird, UT); Wurstfest in New Braunfels, Texas; Houston Oktoberfest at the Garden In The Heights, Houston, Texas; and Snake River Brewing Company Jackson, WY invite Salzburger Echo back year after year because of their energy, wit and outstanding musicianship.

Salzburger Echo also delivers an engaging program for grades K-12 and is certified by ARTS Inc. (formerly Young Audiences Inc. of Utah). From backyard parties to live TV and radio performances in Europe and practically every venue in between, Salzburger Echo is the perfect band for all of your festival, party, and concert needs. Gunther Zeilinger, accordion instructor and official representative of Hof, Germany, was stunned by the musicianship and outright flair of the 2000 Ogden, Utah Hof Winterfest. He stated: "You know, in Germany there are some 3,500 accordion orchestras, and I tell you, these Salzburger Echo guys are right up there with the best of them."
