is a group that combines strong arrangements with magical voices to create stunning music. Shiva has two wonderful ladies with hardly any vocal limits.This soprano and alto are classical soft when they need to and rock-solid when they have to. A fresh tenor who feels comfortable in every range, a multifaceted baritone who adds vocal percussion to Shiva's taste and a deep, groovy bass make Shiva's style complete. Despite the fact that Shiva has such a short history the results are outstanding. Shiva Knows became 3rd at the International A Cappella Competition "Ward Swingle Award" in Graz (A) in 2007 and achieved two gold diploma and the audience award at the same fetival in 2008. Shiva also became 1st at the Totaal Vokaal Festival in Maastricht, was the overall winner of the Dutch Festival for vocal Gropus in Almelo and got a nomination for an A Cappella Recording Award of the American Organisation for A Cappella Music (CASA) for their version of "Butterfly".

Die Saengerin Tanja Raich bringt mit ihrem Trio ausdrucksstarke,
jazzige Arrangements verschiedenster Popsongs auf die Buehne.
Mit ihrer farbenreichen Stimme beruehrt sie alle Fassetten von rauh und karftvoll bis zaertlich-sinnlich
und gibt damit jedem Song ihre eigene Note.
Christoph Eisenburger am Klavier und Werner Lauscher am Bass bringen jahrelange Erfahrung in verschiedenen Formationen und unterschiedlichsten Muikstilen mit und geben jedem Stueck ihre eigene Handschrift.
Die Arrangements des Trios setzen dabei sowohl auf das pure Songmaterial als auch auf improvisatorische Freiraeume.

is a Peter Gabriel tributeband but not just -a- tribute band. This a level formation of six,
does not imitate but strives for perfection of the "Gabesound".
They have knowingly chosen for the term "tribute band".
For covering is one, for ambition is two but the ultimate goal is glory.
Peter Gabriel's world summarized in 6 carriages, is that possible? Sure enough!
And without any delay. Steam Exprezz rumbles through the sound barrier with her "Gabesound".
The laws of auditive barriers are set at naught by Steam Exprezz' high-tech sound.
With post modern sounds they free themselves from the eternal stigma of the coverband.
The Steam Exprezz is the only train in which passangers have to use a safety belt so... buckle up!
On this trip will be no delay, no red sign or square wheels only a defect emergency break @ full speed.
No return ticket available. You can only buy one way tickets on the Post Pete Station
which ill take you from beyond your wildest dreams to Solsbury Hill.
A journey that keeps the Trans Siberia Line in the Clarksville's depot.
Steam Exprezz turns a slow train into a Super Exprezz by extended coverage of Peter Gabriel's complete works.
Next stop: Solsbury Hill.
