NEW ALBUM: "Jedn Tag in Spiagl schaun"

("Look in the mirror every day"...)

... and never lose the joy of life and the elixir of music...

For the first time, Dragan, who played with Daliah Lavi in his early years, and Amadeus Award winner Didi (with Alkbottle) present themselves as singers and songwriters. In the song "Irgendwann" all three have their say and sing about the courage to look ahead and never give up. The song "100,000 hours" encourages you to look in the mirror every day and trust yourself.

"Sei still - Lied an die Erde" is in the style of the successful title "nur 5 Minuten" and gets under your skin.

For Ossi, this album is an anniversary - it's the 30th he's been involved in! With bands like Bluesbreakers, The Gang, Sterz, Huaba, Humus and since 2016 ossi huber&band has created a bandwidth that ranges from blues to Sixties sound and dialect songs to classical songwriting. About 180 original songs have been created so far and more than 40 of them have made it into radio charts.

Ossi never calls himself a composer or lyricist. Melodies and lyrics are rather received. For this he is infinitely grateful...

...and 50 years of DEEP PURPLE, "Made in Japan"

Was the success story of the EBOARD­MUSEUM foreseeable in 2007? To this extent, honestly - no!

And were DEEP PURPLE aware in 1972 of having released an album with Made in Japan that would rank among the 10 most important longplayers in the entire history of pop?

We can find out firsthand on September 16!

Here's the scoop:

IAN PAICE,

original member of probably the most famous rock band of all time, interrupts his Deep Purple tour to celebrate 15 years of EBOARD­MUSEUM and 50 years of Made in Japan with a brilliant concert here in Klagenfurt!

Smoke On The Water may be the most popular song of this album, which starts with the absolute smash hit Highway Star, leads over the vocal challenge Child In Time, and ends with Lazy absolutely not lazy, but eventually represents just one, albeit the mind-blowing hit of a total work of art!

Limited seats - we recommend advanced reservations!

With VOODOO STRAT IAN PAICE brings an Italian super band with him. VOODOO STRAT inspires with two different live programs: Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix. With their fantastic Jimi Hendrix program we could already see them in the EBOARD­MUSEUM.

As a Deep Purple cover band, they perform again and again with IAN PAICE or DON AIREY, the drummer and the keyboarder of the original DEEP PURPLE. Which should be more than enough to describe the extraordinary quality of the band.

Hits, rarities and classics of the great Udo Jürgens - Part I

UDO JÜRGENS was an Austrian composer and singer of popular music whose career spanned over fifty years. He won the Eurovision Song Contest 1966 for Austria, composed close to 1,000 songs, and sold over 100 million records.

One night is by far not long enough to present all of his greatest hits. The fact that it takes two nights to present shows how amazing the great singers' repertoire was. The eightheaded UDO TRIBUTE BAND and their special guests present UDO-Hits from the very beginning to his most recent masterpieces.

A Tribute To Udo Juergens, Part 2

Please note: this is not a repeat, but a continuation with different hits from the extremely extensive oeuvre of Udo Jürgens

Italo Hits

After the best yodeling Japanese (in the 80s), here's the best Austrian Italo music, with

musica italiana dagli anni '60 a oggi, da Adriano Celentano, Lucio Dalla, Francesco de Gregori, Pino Daniele, Paolo Conte, Gino Paoli fino a Vinicio Capossela.

"Un brindisi alla vita, un brindisi alla musica italiana!"

(Italian hits from the 60s to today. "A toast to life, a toast to Italian music!")

ACOUSTIC!

KEEP IT SIMPLE! BOMBAST BECOMES FILIGREE.

Progressive rock legend CENTRAL PARK has long been in the spirit of bands like ELP or Genesis. Founded in 1983, the Munich band quickly played their way to the top of the German prog rock league. Comparisons with international greats such as Yes, Marillion and Asia were not long in coming.

35 years after the band's founding, CENTRAL PARK were in the process of completely reinventing themselves according to the motto "keep it simple". More filigree than ever, the formerly massive-orchestral pieces now shine in an acoustic guise - reduced to the essentials in new sound colors.

CENTRAL PARK stand for a mixture of rhythm, harmonic lyricism, catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics, which are far away from the mainstream. The band tells stories about the eternal search for oneself and philosophizes about love, friendship, loneliness and life itself.

CENTRAL PARK promise music for the senses and a journey into the fascinating realm of complex compositions. Filigree. Virtuosic. Powerful voices.

Number One Hits of the Sixties & Seventies

The Roaring Sixties Company may have seen the light of day in Austria, but as a band Liverpool opened its eyes. The company gave highly acclaimed concerts at the legendary Cavernclub and also at Hamburg's Kaiserkeller, where the Beatles' unprecedented career began.

The Roaring Sixties Company brings the absolute number one hits of the Sixties & Seventies live on stage. For fans of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Who, Bee Gees, Hollies, Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Supertramp, Santana, Eagles, Beach Boys, Pink Floyd and many others, this is a unique opportunity to experience these superhits live.

The Roaring Sixties Company performs these numbers of course absolutely authentic. Numerous performances in clubs, engagements as show act at congresses, support act of international bands (Yardbirds, Smokie, Nazareth,Ten Years After, Boney M., Sailor, Hot Chocolate, Spencer Davis Group, Chris Farlowe etc.) prove this - and this company has of course also extensive city festival experience.

So viele Farben (So Many Colors)

Whew! Luck had! Gert Prix and his dubious accomplices can continue to live out their outrages unhindered!

Because the well-known Major Carl Ribarski from the ORF/ZDF TV cult crime series SOKO Donau is this time not as a police officer in the EBOARDMUSEUM, but as a singer!

And he is also highly impressive as a singer, as we have known at the latest since his appearance here at the EBOARDMUSEUM on March 22, 2019.

Pop History: Elton John

The quality of ELTON JOHN songs is mixed: from borderline brilliant to... well?

But 50 years of a world career provide enough material to show the Rocket Man at his best for more than a full evening.

The huge ELTON-BAND can choose their respective favorites from a rich repertoire. Among them of course the classics Candle In The Wind, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Blue Eyes... Crocodile Rock? Nikita?

Featuring Judith Pechoc

40 years of down-to-earth, earthy and above all "honest" music, that's what makes BLUESPUMPM, around co-founder "ZAPPA" JOHANN CERMAK.

Some call them veterans in the music scene.

There are sayings about the Pumpm like, "It's like wine - the older, the better." Zappa is often affectionately called, the "Viennese Tom Waits..." Yes, the Bluespumpm has been called a legend by many musicians in their lifetime.

The band is defined by Zappa Cermak's performance. He is one of the best blues harp players in the world and it is always amazing what tones and nuances he can coax out of this small but mighty instrument.

He uses his blues voice as an instrument - it is not singing, as he emphasizes - from lyrical to rocking - unmistakable, inimitable.

Over the decades, many people have been influenced and shaped not only by their music, but also by their "way of life". The love to the music, to the nature to the people is also what you can feel at a concert with the BLUESPUMPM! Whether stomping blues riffs, melancholic sounds or long, almost psychedelic passages ...

YES - this kind of music and bands "live"... YES - they will live forever!

When "ZAPPA" lets his organ sound, bawls, yowls, sings, recites, strangles the Bluesharp and his lungs and maltreats them to the limit.... in his red socks like a troll gone wild makes the stage his dance floor, then it becomes clear to all:

THIS IS POWER - THIS IS LIFE!

This year JOHN LENNON would have celebrated his 82nd birthday. But on December 8, 42 years ago, this multiple genius became a victim of his self-proclaimed biggest fan, the mentally ill Mark Chapman...

Again a special occasion for the band Winston O'Boogie (only real friends were allowed to address John Lennon with Winston O'Boogie) to arrange their huge setlist according to this occasion.

For decades, this formation has been dedicated to the gigantic life's work of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon. Doing without wigs, this band instead meticulously brings many Beatles classics to the stage, including some that could never be performed live by the four gentlemen themselves!

And furthermore some star guests...

THE CHRISTMAS SHOW OF THE BEACH BAND

The very first Surfing Christmas of the Beach Band took place in 2001 at the Casineum Velden. In the meantime, this annual event of the EBOARDMUSEUM has become cult and an indispensable must-attend event for philanthropists and music lovers.

As every year, the Beach Band (THOMAS GOSCHAT, HARRY HOLLER, ROLF HOLUB, GERT PRIX) can count on the cooperation of great colleagues to enchant friends and fans with a pre-Christmas atmosphere. Let us surprise you!

Special Guest: OLIVIA MAE, she will take care of the literary part of the evening.

A cultivated evening in the largest living room in Austria is guaranteed.

And also this year all proceeds will be donated to an acute regional emergency. Details will be announced during the event.

The Christmas session for young talents of all ages

You can sing? Dance? Tell stories? Do you love comedy? Or master a musical instrument?

Then there is another chance to perform in front of an expert audience just before Christmas:

In the session named after the museum's founder, up-and-coming artists have the chance to perform alone or together with established stars of the scene for a few minutes under the critical, albeit friendly eyes of our audience.

Instrumental music - singing - comedy - dance - or storyteller - or whatever ... :-)

A Christmas reference is gladly possible, but not mandatory!
