Content

an unforgettable hour of nostalgia

It is the early 1970s and the whole country resonates with the sound of the new “Austropop”. Wolfgang Ambros is number 1 in the charts with Da Hofa. A few years later, a young man from Vienna sees ski jumper Falko Weißpflog take off from the ski jump, and his career as a pop singer takes off too when he adopts the name Falco. In Styria Steinbäcker, Timischl and Schiffkowitz found the band STS. The Styriarte recalls five decades  of Austropop – along with Mozart and Johann Strauss the country’s most successful music brands. Eddie Luis takes the roles of Falco, Ambros and co., making for an unforgettable hour of nostalgia.

They are the undisputed stars of a scene they created themselves: Multi-talented Eddie Luis and his multinational virtuoso combo. Mercilessly racy and musical, they bring to life not only the legendary repertoire of the hot jazz and swing era, but also the icons of the Schlager age. Top service for the dancing leg and the mood.
