Austrian multi-instrumentalist Hubert von Goisern will be playing next week in the United States. He will present his latest album, Federn, which showcases mix of American roots music such as blues, folk, gospel, jazz and country with modernized Austrian Alpine folk and world music influences featuring Austrian-German dialect vocals.
“I myself thrive on the variety of music our world has to offer. The Alpine tradition is just one fascinating part,” reveals von Goisern. “I think in times like this, we need to have an ear for each other.”
The instrumentation on the album includes accordion, brass, lap steel, theremin and many other musical instruments.
The lineup on Federn includes Hubert von Goisern on accordion, guitar, keyboards, theremin, vocals; Helmut Schartlmüller on bass and vocals; Severin Trogbacher on guitar, dobro and vocals; Alex Pohn on percussion; American musician Steve Fishell on pedal steel guitar; Luis Ribeiro on percussion; Maria Moling, Tanja Mazurek, Farina Miss, and Andrea Graf on vocals; Wolfgang Staribacher on organ; and Burkhard Frauenlob on keyboards.
