The Sound Of Carlos S

Latin-Blues-Rock-Alegría Tribute Show

THE SOUND OF CARLOS S is dedicated to the music of Carlos Santana.

This music brilliantly blends blues with gospel, Latin American popular music and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The unmistakable, Grammy-winning sound of Carlos Santana’s guitar has been thrilling audiences for several generations.

THE SOUND OF CARLOS S brings the magical power of the melodies straight to the hearts of the audience, whilst the Latin grooves leave no one unmoved – the only thing to do is dance!

Guitarist Hannes Seidl and percussionist Andi Steirer honed their ‘Latin skills’ in South America, where they had the opportunity to collaborate with Brazilian musicians on various projects.

The fascination with Afro-Cuban rhythms and the ‘alegría’ inherent in Latin American music led to the formation of the tribute band THE SOUND OF CARLOS S in 2016.

THE SOUND OF CARLOS S sounds just like the Latin rock band ‘Santana’ and, alongside the evergreens, also performs lesser-known gems from Santana’s vast repertoire.

Live Is Life

Ewald Pfleger, mastermind behind the cult band Opus, reads from his latest book

Talk and music with EWALD PFLEGER and ULI BRÈE as well as KURT GOBER and PAUL PFLEGER

Ewald Pfleger has plenty to tell. In March 2025, his book, a journey down memory lane to the heyday of Austropop, was launched. Following this, Ewald Pfleger and Uli Brée are embarking on a book tour, during which they will bring the book to life for the audience in an entertaining way, accompanied by fitting music.

In his book, he recounts his journey from a child in a children’s home to a celebrated rock star, the breathtaking career of the band OPUS, and how the song Live is Life changed his life.

The book is an exciting journey through over forty years of Austrian music history, as well as a declaration of love for making music, complete with many anecdotes from the industry. Live is Life: A song that first had a bit of a hiccup on a football pitch in Burgenland and then went on to travel around the world from there. For more than forty years, people on every continent have been singing this catchy tune and its Nana Nanana…

Die Austropop Kapelle

A Whole Life for Austropop–Tour 2026

What do STS, Wolfgang Ambros, Rainhard Fendrich, Seiler & Speer and the EAV have in common? They’re performing on Friday, 1 May 2026, at the EBOARD­MUSEUM in Klagenfurt.

Well, not the originals themselves, but certainly one of the best Austropop cover bands in the German-speaking world: THE AUSTROPOP KAPELLE.

For more than 25 years, the three Styrians CHRISTIAN A. RAUCH (guitars & vocals), MATTHIAS KÖCK (keyboards & vocals) and EWALD GAULHOFER (drums & vocals) have been touring the “stages of the world” with their Austropop programme, and so their “S ganze Leben für'n Austropop – Tour” 2026 will once again take them through Germany, South Tyrol, Switzerland and, last but not least, Austria.

Their programme brings all the greats of Austropop together on one stage. Alongside the highest standards of musicality and a joy of performance, the set list spans the full spectrum of well-known and lesser-known songs by STS, Wolfgang Ambros, Rainhard Fendrich, Georg Danzer, Hubert von Goisern, Falco, Peter Cornelius, EAV, Hansi Dujmic, Wilfried, Hansi Lang, Ostbahn-Kurti, right through to Udo Jürgens and Nickerbocker. The “young wild ones” of Austropop, such as Seiler & Speer, WANDA and others, will also be featured.

The result is a concert in a class of its own that leaves nothing to be desired in the Austropop genre.

Segreto

Best Of Italian Rock

Music from Italy was and is still underestimated in our country or put in the drawer "spaghetti pop".

There is another way. SEGRETO show with their italian rock-program a mixture of well known and maybe unknown songs of various italian artists like  Zucchero, Vasco Rossi, Antonacci Biagio, Lucio Battisti, Nek, Le Vibrazioni etc., how good ITALO-ROCK can be...

Hammond Jam Session

Tobacco Road Blues Band

IV

The TRBB has been around since 2013, whereby the musicians around founding members Mike Diwald and Peter Prammerdorfer started out as a typical blues cover band.

At some point, just playing the blues hits of Clapton, King, Johnson and co. was simply no longer enough for the bluesmen, so they quickly wrote their own songs. The first CD with exclusively self-composed material was released in 2017. Disc number 2 followed in 2018, and a live DVD called Live at the Museum was released the following year, while the band continued to work on new material.

Like all other artists, the pandemic naturally put a spanner in the works of the Tobaccos' live activities, but this did not dampen their creativity. The band has an international network of renowned musicians and so during the lockdown an album Papa Legba was created, which was realised with the participation of numerous musicians not only from Austria, but also Italy, Germany and the USA. This CD was presented in July 2021.

Despite all the fun of working in the studio, the TRBB is first and foremost a live band that was delighted to finally get back into concert mode after the pandemic-related break. This was followed by gigs at home and abroad and, of course, at the EBOARDMUSEUM, where we were welcoming them again in March 2025 with their CD IV.

The first concert was sold out within a short time, which is why a repeat performance was organised the following day.

THE STING PROJECT

Pop History: Sting & The Police

The music of global superstar Sting captivates audiences of all ages. The band THE STING PROJECT brings to the stage the songs of this charismatic Brit, who scored global hits with Every Breath You Take, Fields Of Gold and Desert Rose and has 16 Grammys to his name.

In 2004, Marco Eltner from Judenburg founded the band in Upper Styria; despite their youth (singer Lisa Freidl was just 15 years old at the time), they perform at a very high musical standard.

As part of the ‘Judenburger Sommer’ festival in 2007, the group performed for the first time under the name LIECHTENSTEIN, presenting their own German compositions. Since then, the band has successfully performed concerts throughout Austria. Highlights have included numerous town festivals, as well as a performance on Vienna’s Rathausplatz, at the Euro 2016 public viewing in Vienna’s Prater, as the support act for Liquido at a festival, and performances alongside some legends of Austropop such as Boris Bukowski, Wilfried, and Papermoon.

Throughout this time, Sting and his music have always had a significant influence on the band’s style, which is why the musicians decided to bring THE STING PROJECT back to life in 2016.

As the only Sting & The Police cover band in Austria, THE STING PROJECT offers a superlative ‘Best of Sting & The Police’ show featuring all the hits from Sting’s solo career, as well as those of the legendary trio The Police.

BEACH BAND

Summer Opening

Sandy beaches, surfboards, gorgeous sun-kissed bodies, cool drinks and utterly laid-back hits in perfect harmony... This almost unbearably beautiful cliché led to the formation of the BEACH BAND in 2000!

Ever since then, the magnificent sound of the Beach Boys, complete with their complex harmonies, has been bringing that little bit of ocean to your ears! An unrivalled mix of Beach Boys, flower power, ice lollies and hits with style!

And an unforgettable evening full of good vibrations...

UDO TRIBUTE BAND

HITS, CLASSICS AND RARITIES BY THE UNFORGOTTEN UDO JÜRGENS

Attention, not in the museum, but

at the town festival in Völkermarkt!

UDO JÜRGENS was born in Klagenfurt. That is well known. A large part of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND also comes from the Klagenfurt area. GERT PRIX, mastermind of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND, was also born in Klagenfurt and attended the same conservatory as the great entertainer.

The UDO TRIBUTE BAND was founded back in 2011 and had the full approval of the unique artist. He made this known in a personal letter, a silent distinction and a great honour for the entire band.

Even as a child, Gert Prix played the legendary Udo hits of the sixties - then still called chansons - on the piano, much to the annoyance of his piano professor, who - as was customary at the time - drew a strict line between serious and popular music. A boundary that Udo repeatedly dissolved in his life's work and very successfully declared superfluous.

The fact that Gert even shared the stage with Udo himself for an entire evening when he was almost 20 years old was perhaps the unconscious spark that led to the founding of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND a few decades later.

The other members of the UDO TRIBUTE BAND, some older and some younger, also found their personal connection to the huge repertoire of the most successful German-speaking singer's more than 50-year career in the course of their lives.

Over the course of two evenings, the eight-strong UDO TRIBUTE BAND presented the entire spectrum, from the largely well-known beginnings to genuine rarities and the unrivalled classics of the great entertainer UDO JÜRGENS, with both respect and passion.

School's Out

The annual end of school party for adults

It has been a cult event for years and is somehow indispensable: the end-of-school party for adults!

This year, the School's Out Band has once again rummaged through the hit lists of the last six decades and selected real summer hit highlights for this end-of-school party.

A Bright Red Rubber Boat collides with Italian tearjerkers, Summer Wine is served in a Piccola E Fragile bouteille, and finally, there's no doubt that the Summer Of '69 reminds us of the best summers of our lives for a reason...

:- )

And the same applies in 2026: Summer Splash - let's be charitable!

All School's Out artists are waiving their fees in these difficult times, and as usual, all proceeds will be donated to a charitable project. And there are more than enough of them this year too...

The Billy Joel Project

Pop History: Billy Joel

33 Top 40 hits and 6 Grammys! That is Billy Joel’s unrivalled track record. Often compared to Elton John at the start of his career, Billy very quickly carved out his own place in pop history with his unmistakable voice and virtuosity at the piano!

The star-studded BILLY JOEL PROJECT, led by Alexander Matauschek, rises to the challenge and invites you on a journey that takes you from Honesty, My Life and The Piano Man to Uptown Girl and the cosy classic Just The Way You Are, whilst also not shying away from pianistic feats such as Root Beer Rag!

Nick Steed & Friends

The keyboarder of the band Colosseum at the EBOARDMUSEUM

Even as an 11-year-old, Nick Steed entertained guests at his parents’ pub with his keyboard, and at 15 he joined a local blues band in his hometown of Stockport. From 2013, he performed with his own blues band, a quartet featuring PAUL BURGESS on drums, who had enjoyed some success with 10CC. During one of these gigs, he was spotted by Norman Beaker, who subsequently offered Nick a spot in his band, which went on to tour with big names such as the American blues legend Larry Garner and Chris Farlowe. In the meantime, the members of the legendary prog-jazz-rock band COLOSSEUM also took notice of Nick, which ultimately led to him securing the role of keyboardist in this magnificent band, with whom he still tours regularly and is currently working on a new album.

In addition, Nick remains involved in various other projects, whether with his jazz-fusion band Optimystic Visionaries, his power-blues trio, or continuing as a solo artist. As such, he released his solo album Influential Guidance in 2023, which was very well received by the music press and whose songs he also performs to a large extent with his trio.
