Hotel Palindrone

HOTEL PALINDRONE is an Austrian acoustic quartet that “houses” music traditions from Austria, shaken and stirred with many other European roots, with jazz and classical music.

Full of power, inventiveness and real fun HOTEL PALINDRONE surprises their audience and the press around the world since 1995. For example on the BBC radio 3 stage at WOMAD-Festival where their concert was live broadcast on BBC radio 3. Amongst a superb variety of instruments the more traditional ones, like hurdy gurdy, jews harps and bagpipes, flirt with the bass-guitar or the jazzy saxophone.

Their latest album JODULATOR, the name is based on that most iconic of Alpine pastimes, yodelling, got honored by finding its way on the favorite list of the German Record Critics Award 3/2011 and by the album award “bravo!” of the French Trad Magazine.

And we should say … their music is made to listen  a n d  to dance to: Bourree, Chapelloise, Austrian Ländler, Polka, Waltz, Mazurka …
