Seitinger & Maierhofer
Johanna Seitinger (vocals)
Lukas Maierhofer (vocals, guitar)
Tobias Steinrück (double bass)
Witty lyrics sung in Styrian dialect about quirky love affairs, skillfully staged by two theatrical voices, accompanied by snappy, Sinti-swing-inspired guitar sounds… Since the release of their debut album in October 2022, which also featured guests such as trumpeter Thomas Gansch, the duo Seitinger & Maierhofer have made a name for themselves with their fresh and cheeky songs that fall somewhere between pop and jazz. Johanna Seitinger, who studied jazz singing in Graz, and singer-guitarist Lukas Maierhofer, who has clearly studied Django Reinhardt’s music intensively, are no strangers to serious topics. Their second album is due to be released in April 2025 and will confirm their reputation as captivating and touching musical storytellers. Samples from the album can be experienced at Vienna’s RadioCafe, where Seitinger & Maierhofer will perform in a trio line-up, with double bassist Tobias Steinrück.
Concert: December 13, 2024, 8 p.m. @ RadioCafe at Radiokulturhaus Vienna
Airdate: December 24, 2024, 11pm on the Ö1 Jazznacht (Moderation: Andreas Felber)
