The Strottern

The Strottern blend Viennese tradition with contemporary sounds into a cross-genre experience. Their music draws from the rich melting pot of Viennese song – from French waltzes to Balkan rhythms, jazz, and pop. At the heart of it all is the waltz, sometimes elegant in 3/4 time, sometimes drunkenly stumbling, which serves as the 'pulse of the city' at the foundation of their songs. The band navigates the razor-sharp line between deeply felt art and catchy schmaltz, punctuated by abrupt, dadaistic free jazz outbursts. This musical mishmash makes them a captivating experience on stages of all kinds – from classical festivals to jazz clubs. An evening full of emotion, surprises, and infectious melodies.
