Salzburger Echo brings the Alps to their audiences, playing Old World and contemporary folk music from the alpine regions of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. They continue to amaze audiences with their twelve-foot alphorns, Swiss cowbells, holzernes g'lächter and harmony yodeling. Performances in authentic costuming are musically enjoyable and visually exciting! Together since 1992, Salzburger Echo has played many venues and festivals throughout the United States and Europe. They are one of the most sought after Alpine bands in the nation. Festivals such as Oktoberfest in Mt. Angel, Oregon; Snowbird's Annual Oktoberfest (Snowbird, UT); Wurstfest in New Braunfels, Texas; Houston Oktoberfest at the Garden In The Heights, Houston, Texas; and Snake River Brewing Company Jackson, WY invite Salzburger Echo back year after year because of their energy, wit and outstanding musicianship.

Salzburger Echo also delivers an engaging program for grades K-12 and is certified by ARTS Inc. (formerly Young Audiences Inc. of Utah). From backyard parties to live TV and radio performances in Europe and practically every venue in between, Salzburger Echo is the perfect band for all of your festival, party, and concert needs. Gunther Zeilinger, accordion instructor and official representative of Hof, Germany, was stunned by the musicianship and outright flair of the 2000 Ogden, Utah Hof Winterfest. He stated: "You know, in Germany there are some 3,500 accordion orchestras, and I tell you, these Salzburger Echo guys are right up there with the best of them."

Testimonials:

"Your band is the greatest. I had so much fun blowing that alpenhorn, I can't tell you. I look forward to next year in hopes that you will again be able to perform."
Michael O. Leavitt
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Former Governor of Utah

"We attended all their performances and were not surprised at the way the big tent would fill when they started playing. From the brass and accordion sounds of polka and waltzes or the Dixieland sound translated to German or the mellow sounds of the giant alphorns to the bright airy sounds of the xylophone or cowbells, the band never failed to captivate the audience."
Linda & Larry Peak

"I was so impressed with the skills of the musicians, the humor of the performers, and ...the way you were able to get the audience involved in the music. It was incredible!!"
