Soul Club is an eclectic, unusual and exciting group from Vienna, rooted in Funk and Soul with elements of Jazz, R&B and Pop thrown in for good measure.

Presenting original material written by various members of the band, lead vocalist Steffi Pitsch sings with a lively, expressively soulful mezzo voice that is rich, flexible and punchy: Steffi takes no prisoners.

The backline consists of German Schwarz on drums; a consistent, tight and electrifying groovemaster supported by bassist Christian Spoerk, delivering a brilliant, effervescent but unshakeable bass foundation.

The rhythm section is rounded off by inimitable ex-South African guitarist Francis Montocchio, putting down twangy grooves, surprising harmonies and haunting lines.

Sax & Flute sorceress Daniela Dorfer completes the line-up with her sensuous alto sax sounds and wistful, soaring flute as well as with her angelic voice.

All in all, Soul Club Vienna, with their multi-faceted and superbly rehearsed programme, promises to provide a highly enjoyable evening of new and exciting music.

Alicia Edelweiss is an Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician during a two-year bout of hitch-hiking around Europe before settling in Portugal, where she had a fateful encounter with an accordion, which would become her trademark. Returning to Vienna, she collaborated with many different musicians, performers and circus artists, before releasing her debut studio album, “When I'm enlightened, everything will be better“, in 2019, featuring her with her new chamber pop band of strings, which has led her to numerous festivals across Europe.
