E NINE O FOUR (AUT)
You might recall this band from vokal.total.2012 where they won two gold diplomas, a 1st prize in Jazz and a second prize in Pop. But the group members have changed and just recently they started performing with a beatboxer. Ulrike Tropper, Lisa Raffold, Reinhard Angerer, Ivory Parker and Patrik Thurner are the new E NINE O FOUR. They are already famous for their smooth ballads and creative arrangements of music in the singer songwriter style. But with the new possibility of adding heavy beats to their songs no one will stand still during their concerts.

Studebakers ‘63 (AUT) 
Since 2004 the Johann-Josef-Fux Conservatory in Graz has a department for pop music. A very important part of their education are the ensemble lessons. One of those bands, Studebaker ’63 lead by Klaus Ambrosch, was invited to the international Jazz Festival to Chelyabinsk in Russia. The young musicians played several concerts and were premiered for their performaces by the Minister for Culture. They are frequently asked why they chose this band name. The musical influence are mostly from the USA and the Studebaker is a symbol for the authenticity that they are striving for. Get an impression here!

Streetview Dixieclub (AUT / “New Orleans”) 
Formerly street musicians, that play music directly from the heart of New Orleans. They present hits from the 1920s and 1930s in the concert hall, the ballroom or on the street.

Albert Tröbinger (AUT) 
Exciting new ideas and various elements of different disciplines are combined in this young art form called “CONTACT-JUGGLING”. Artistic, pantomime and humor become live art. The Grazer citizen Alber Tröbinger basically started perfecting his skills in throwing around stuff in the stroller with pacifiers and rattles. He attended the circus school in Graz and found his real passion in juggling and the object-manipulation. Somehow this young man looks familiar, right? Maybe because he was very succesfull at RTL “Das Supertalent” and “Die Gro0e Chance”.

Vida Noa (AUT)
Indie Pop artist Vida Noa has already left her footprints in the Austrian music scene and positioned herself as one of the hottest up and coming songwriters in the industry. In 2017 the young artist released 2 singles, which both made it no. 1 at local radio station “Soundportal” with further national releases pending. Vida Noa, winner of the 2017 Fender Paramount Singer/Songwriter Contest where she prevailed over 760 participants from all around Europe, has started to write and play live at an early age. Dedication and talent have taken her thus far and most certainly we will hear a lot more, on live stages as well as on air and digital streaming. Having played the legendary Augartenfest and Styrian Sounds Festival in her hometown as well as a sold out “TV Noir” show in Berlin’s Admiralspalast featuring Glen Hansard and Clueso, Vida Noa knows exactly how to captivate her audience, whether that be a crowd of 10 or 1000. – Music Incubator International
