Featured Artists

	Featured Artist: EDITH PROCK www.edithprock.com Direct from Munich, Edith Prock is Germany’s #1 female folk musician. Whether on the radio, television or live stage, Prock conquers the heart of the true lover of Bavarian Folk Music, even earning the unofficial title of “Ambassador of Bavarian Music.”


	Featured Artist: DIE SCHLAUBERGER www.dsbworld.com die Schlauberger (dSb) is a powerhouse of musical expertise who expend enough energy to light up not only the crowd, but the festival grounds, too. From the moment dSb steps on stage until they’ve wrung the final note from their last song, the band engages everyone within earshot to "expect the unexpected, then join in the fun."


	Featured Artist: SPITZE! www.spitze-band.com SPITZE! is a German-American dance band that features both modern and traditional sounds of Alpine Europe, along with some American favorites. Whether you're dancing, singing or just listening to the sounds of SPITZE!, you will be overwhelmed by a welcomed feeling of "Gemuetlichkeit!"


	Featured Artist: DIE LUSTIGEN ALMDUDLER almdudler.rochestergerman.com Die Lustigen Almdudler is a four-piece band from Rochester, New York. Specializing in German/Austrian music both traditional and modern, as well as Schuhplattling (traditional Bavarian folk dancing), comedy skits, and a healthy dose of cowbell, their animated performances frequently draw the question, “Where in Germany is your band from?” - a very high compliment indeed!


	Featured Artist: ALPINE SQUEEZE! www.alpinesqueeze.com Alpine Squeeze! is made up of experienced musicians who have two things in common: their individual love and passion for music, and making their audiences happy when playing as a group. Alpine Squeeze! keeps tradition alive with their spirited polkas and enchanting waltzes - Latin, pop, country and jazz are also in the mix!
