Our Musicians are among Chicagoland's best and are regulars. So-called "pick-up" musicians are never used.

Style ranges throughout the spectrum from the old "oompah" favorites to many of the newest stimmung medleys brought over directly from Munich. Some songs are originals, both in English and in German. Vocalists and instrumentalists are always featured.
