Butter Bread

The band delightfully spreads its Viennese funk on a slice of bread and serves it up with an extra helping of fusion, soul, and heart. It tastes like hot summer days on the island, the first cold beer after a long day at work, and the breeze rustling through your hair on the way to that long-awaited vacation. Danceable, meticulously crafted, and guaranteed to be handmade.

John Blow Marching Band

Loud and moderately soft. Optionally spiced up with trumpet, trombone, or saxophone solos. The program includes old and new classics, as well as pieces that are on their way to becoming classics. And it spans genres, all in a marching band format.

INSIDE THE BIG BAND

The Big Band captivates audiences with a unique soul-and-jazz program—one written specifically for this band. Nothing here is off-the-shelf; you’ll only hear it here. In addition to international classics given a fresh twist, the set list also includes several classics by the legendary Kurt Ostbahn. The Big Band takes the stage with a full lineup of 14 horn players, a rhythm section, and, above all, its exceptional vocal soloists. The InnSeit’n Big Band is the big band of the Innsbruck Music School.

Room10

With a nine-piece lineup, a razor-sharp brass section, and top-notch background vocals, the Cologne-based newcomer band Room10 has been making a clear statement in favor of authentic live music since early 2024. Their sound is a warm, fluid blend of classic funk foundations, driving disco vibes, and modern R&B. This is a band you should definitely keep an eye on—and add to your playlist.

Sam Siefert Ensemble Project

Exploring the boundaries between sound and emotion. The Sam Siefert Project is a musical collective that explores sonic spaces beyond stylistic boundaries. Led by composer and drummer Sam Siefert, the ensemble unfolds an atmospheric sonic cosmos that spans jazz, Afrobeat, improvised music, and cinematic expanses. With a rotating cast of musicians from diverse stylistic backgrounds, the Sam Siefert Ensemble Project is constantly evolving: at times chamber-like, at times orchestral, at times electronically distorted—but always with a clear focus on sonic depth, dynamics, and expression.

Yellow Fleet

YELLOW FLEET is the shimmering, sizzling dream of three musicians whose fingers and antennae are everywhere. Christoph Kuntner, Benjamin Lampert, and Max Schrott are united by a shared intuition, nonchalance, and humor—qualities that run through their music. The three call jazz their home in the broadest sense—using that as a starting point, they listen, search, and discover together in all sorts of directions.
