Ächtleng, Blues & Schalala

The Querschläger Quartet presents "Ächtleng, Blues & Schalala," a charming blend of music and cabaret. In this small ensemble of the Lungau cult group, the entertaining, cabaret-style side takes center stage. Fritz Messner intersperses the songs with humorous stories and anecdotes, accompanied by vocals and guitar.

Musically, the audience can expect an unusual variety: traditional Alpine tunes in a modern style, folk and blues songs, as well as witty Gstanzln and yodels. Adding to this are extraordinary instruments such as alpine horn, contrabass clarinet, sansula, hang, didgeridoo, birch leaf, and potato phone—over 20 different sounds in total. Fritz Messner (vocals, guitars, bass) and Mathias Messner (vocals, guitars, banjo, percussion) are joined by Reinhard Simbürger (vocals, guitars, alpine horn, didgeridoo, hang) and Fritz Kronthaler (contrabass clarinet, saxophones, bagpipes, potato phone).
