Americana, Alt-country, Folk and Blues probably aren’t the first things people anywhere would associate with the mountains of Austria. But that is exactly what the audience can expect when Chris Comper hits the stage as Prinz Grizzley.
 He performs music from the heart. A heart heavily influenced by “mountains, forests, stubbornness, warmth of heart, religiosity and part of a very simple life”. It is a mix of Austrian alpine culture expressed through the sounds of Americana. It isn’t too surprising that it works. There has been a long standing tradition in the US of absorbing aspects of immigrant culture and building it back into the sounds that would eventually become so iconic. Now it’s possible for that process to be reversed and for the result to feel just as organic. Heartbreak, loneliness, and melancholy are universal experiences that just happen to be enhanced by a certain honky-tonk swing, the sound of a pedal steel guitar, or a voice from someone who has just seen too much.

Prinz Grizzley has since released an EP (Wide Open Country) and a debut LP (Come on in). He has also built up a considerable following on the European market by performing a slew of festivals and tours in Ireland, England, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He also played on SXSW in Austin Tx and Americanafest in Nashville and was support act for Seasick Steve on the whole UK and Europe tour in 2018.

MaxMantis is a Highly acclaimed Jazz trio from Switzerland. The trio's artistic vision is anchored in the jazz-tradition and further inspired through the self-written soundtrack of the band's fantastical superhero-themed background story. This intriguing combination invites the listener to become part of a larger-than-life experience blurring the lines between band and audience, allowing for spontaneous musical adventures to unfold. 
The ultimate aim- to perform music with passion, energy and a sense of adventure and share it with the world.
