A musical sensation in the making! The Austrian World Music export, Global Kryner, the Alpine newcomer on the European scene with a globalized mountain sound, meet the greatest vocal trio in Central Europe: The Rounder Girls, from Vienna, London and New York. Along with their successful solo careers, Tini Kainrath (Dancing Stars, Willi Resetarits, The Hallucination Company, etc.), Lynne Kieran (soloist at the Wiener Festwochen, Burgtheater, Bayerische Staatsoper, Gloria Gaynor, etc.), and Kim Cooper (songwriter and international dance floor diva: Beat 4 Feet, Club 69, Junior Vasquez, Jamie Lewis, etc.), continuously excel with the soulful qualities of their three mutually harmonizing voices, a unique phenomenon since 1993. Sufficient reason for the five men of Global Kryner, accordionist Anton Sauprügl, guitarist Edi Köhldorfer, trumpeter Markus Pechmann, trombonist Martin Temmel and band founder and clarinettist Christof Spörk, to embark on this exciting experiment. Simultaneously, Global Kryner’s front woman thus far, Sabine Stieger, is working on her solo career as Samy Jones. Both the Rounder Girls and Global Kryner know: Great music always results from the unexpected fusion of hitherto different and separate musical styles. From artistic friction and creative heat. Therefore: Global Kryner versus The Rounder Girls. Five musicians with all kinds of tonal experience on acoustic instruments versus three ladies, who are Maestras of the most primal of all instruments – the human voice. Each of the Rounder Girls is also an accomplished songwriter. And so, as a creative plus, Global Kryner have krynerized some of their compositions. Alpine-spiced gospel and soul of the best quality is to be expected. In return, the Rounder Girls will explore pop music classics from the Global Kryner repertoire in their own inimitably stylish way. Together the boys and girls have also mixed their creative juices; the result: fantastic new compositions. Enjoy the excitement of the new sound, between yodel and soul, between Alpine kitsch and urban cool. So look out, World! The new sound is global and round.
