Herbert Pixner

Herbert Pixner is a genre-bending Austrian musician who’s become synonymous with reinventing Alpine folk traditions for modern audiences. Hailing from South Tyrol, this multi-instrumentalist (often seen with his trusty diatonic button accordion) mixes traditional Tyrolean melodies with everything from jazz improvisation to rock energy and global rhythms. With his Herbert Pixner Projekt band, he’s turned yodeling and alpine folk tunes into dynamic concert experiences that’ve rocked stages from small mountain festivals to symphonic collaborations. Recent releases like *Symphonic Alps Plugged In* showcase his knack for fusing orchestral grandeur with foot-stomping folk, while *Golden Home* reflects his deep connection to Alpine landscapes through contemporary arrangements. Whether he’s reworking centuries-old shepherd songs or composing new anthems, Pixner’s music always feels like a fresh breath of mountain air with a playful twist.
