April 19, 2026A little piece of Munich at our party!
Hammerstein Musik Bavaria Group brought such fun German energy to our party and made the whole celebration a blast. Their performance felt like it brought a little piece of Munich to the party, and their authentic style and great stage presence made it all so memorable. I got so many messages the next day from guests saying what a great time they had and how much they loved the band. They truly made the event unforgettable.

What to expect
When Hammerstein performs for an event the band brings the authentic look, sound, and feel of Bavarian culture with them. Dressed in lederhosen and dirndls, the band will sweep you away to the German country side with the sounds of sweet vocals, lively accordion, mighty tuba, rhythmic drums, and even a bit of yodeling.
Hammerstein Musik Bavaria performs songs in both English as German and can adjust the set list to fit the needs of the event. The four piece band features all acoustic instruments that can also be amplified so the volume range of the ensemble can span from an intimate in home gathering to large outdoor music festivals. The band can also perform on and off stage and strolling through the audience can be part of the experience. The members of Hammerstein are all well versed in many styles of music and can perform a wide range of musical genres including but not limited to Polka, Oktoberfest, top 40s, Weimar, Tango, Brazillian, Jazz, and classical.
