For gala celebrations and events such as Oktoberfest, Maifest, Sommerfest etc. the Alpiners U S A trio is available in expanded configurations, often featuring Margot Turrell, lead vocalist, with yodeling and vocals in authentic Bavarian dialect. For large events, we can also expand with horns and/or clarinet for even more vibrant 'Blasmusik' instrumental sounds befitting of Oktoberfest and similar events. With the Alpiners U S A Oktoberfest Band providing the headline entertainment at your event, your audience will experience authentic Bavarian music and entertainment on par with that they would hear live at a traditional Folk Festival in Bavaria or Austria.
Alpiners U S A has performed televised where it opened for Jimmy Sturr at the huge Musikfest in eastern PA (http://www.Musikfest.org) to live audiences of thousands. Click here to see a video sampler of this performance. As the original band to perform at the first Campbell, CA Oktoberfest and street fair years ago, it still performs annually as the headline entertainment for that two-day event with over ten thousand attendees.
