Austrian Alpin Rock - Folk, Country Blues, Soul, Jazz with a touch of North American Folk and Blues
The „Ötscherer“ comes from the Ötschervalley in Austria. Since the early days of alpine rock, he has been making his own music, a little like in a parallel universe, which draws from the same roots.
As if a Nashville musician had forgotten his steel guitar in the Vorderötscher, the “Ötscherer” gets straight to the point with its sparse instrumentation. “Not wanting, but being!” could be a headline or motto in his life.
In the period 1995 - 2013, 5 albums were released and distributed in Germany and now, after the death of his German publisher, could be brought back to Austria to be re-released here in a newly mastered form.
A new album is in the works and will be released in mid-2023 under the Newton Records label.
A composer and singer - who has always been singing in dialect out of truthfulness and not out of calculation, and who gave language to the feeling of life of a mountain massif „Ötscherer“
