Riana - the only pop musician in Switzerland who sings in the Appenzell dialect - has long since made a name for herself in the Swiss music scene with her authentic and down-to-earth manner. After the success of her EP "Losloh" and winning the Swiss Music Award in the category "SRF3 Best Talent* in 2024, the Appenzell musician Riana will go on her first tour through Switzerland with her debut album in autumn 2025.

Their music is a powerful blend of subtle lyrics that are deeply rooted in their homeland and personal world, and a sound that is at once modern and inspired by tradition. Honest - modest - blandgrad! The fan base is growing continuously, not least after the big, sold-out tour in winter 2024/2025 with Dabu Fantastic, which Riana was allowed to accompany as a support act.

Line up:

Riana: Vocals, Guitars, Keys
Sabina Brunner: Guitar
Nicolas Struchen: Drums
Sam Huwyler: Bass

The Chicken Ruckus play old time and folk from body and soul

The Chicken Ruckus play old-time and folk from body and soul. Their songs and tunes have their roots in the southeastern United States, where Irish and English songs mixed with African-American blues at the beginning of the 20th century. Accompanied by banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass guitar, The Chicken Ruckus sing about the cool mountains and the wild coasts, about the work on the track and in the coal mines, about love, life, death and whatever may come after.

Every performance of The Chicken Ruckus is raw and melodious at the same time, is performed with passion and is guaranteed to touch every audience deep inside, if they are not carried away and carried away by the stomping rhythms and the crisp bass lines.

Anna Messerli : Fiddle, Vocals
Severin Erni : 5-string banjo, harmonica, vocals
Sacha Häusler : mandolin, octave mandolin, vocals
Stephen Ferron : Acoustic Bass Guitar, Vocals

The inspiring source of Vent Negru, founded in 1991, is the rich heritage of songs and instrumental pieces of southern Alpine folk music, which has been preserved to this day thanks to oral tradition and the records of the first researchers and collectors.

The trio interprets rediscovered old ballads, lullabies, dance songs, songs in the style of "canto spontaneo" that have been preserved from oblivion, enriching this repertoire with new compositions inspired by tradition.

Music and storytelling of stories, curiosities and anecdotes with the desire to show and make audible the value of Ticino's popular culture.

Vent Negru plays at events and concerts in a wide variety of places in the style of itinerant musicians and story singers from times gone by.
