Our Krampus Christmas Album
These guys were phenomenal at our Oktoberfest celebration! Great music, amazing energy and complete with the cutest lederhosen. Everyone at our party was dancing and singing along. A true hit! We will most certainly bring Hammerstein Musik Bavaria back!!
Response from Hammerstein Musik Bavaria:
Fantastic Venue. Old School Grandeur and an audience who loved our music from the heart. Mark Slayer created a memorable event!
The music was perfect. So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved this band and how impressed they were with the singing and playing. Wonderful memories! Prosit! Jan
Response from Hammerstein Musik Bavaria:
Great party with great people and an amazing venue on top of a mountain looking down on a lake. Thank you for having us bring Polka fun to your event!
Andreas and the Hammerstein Musik Bavaria Band has a good mix of music and keeps the audience entertained. It was a pleasure to have them back this year at our Oktoberfest. I would highly recommend them.
Response from Hammerstein Musik Bavaria:
Encinitas put on a fantastic Oktoberfest. It was super fun playing there. Thanks for having us!
Very good lots of fun
Response from Hammerstein Musik Bavaria:
Great party, the "birthday boy" was from Munich and dancing an authentic 'Schuahplattler'. Thank you for having us, Great FUN!!!
Hammerstein was great and brought our Octoberfest in April party to the next level. They are very talented and interacted with our crowd in a really fun way. Energetic performance, they really seem to love what they do. Book them early, I assume they'll be in high demand come October.
Response from Hammerstein Musik Bavaria:
West Side Comedy Theater is a hidden gem in Santa Monica and some well know comedians got their start there. We had a blast performing for their 10 year anniversary party. They know how to party and I can't wait to check out their comedy performances!
The Catalina Island Museum asked Hammerstein Musik Bavaria to join us for our 2nd Annual Oktoberfest and it was the best thing we did. This group of highly talented musicians is professional, fun to work with, super enthusiastic, will get everyone participating and will have you wishing your party would never end. Don't think twice about asking them to attend your event!
Response from Hammerstein Musik Bavaria:
It was a rockin event and my first time on Catalina Island. If you have never been, check it out and go see the Catalina Island Museum. A real gem!!!
We hired Hammerstein Musik Bavaria for the Oktoberfest themed Cocktail Reception following our annual Golf Tournament and they were the highlight of the entire event. The band interacted with all the guests, taught them the songs to sing along with, and danced with our guests. I got several emails from attendees, and even the venue event planner, saying how fantastic the band was and they truly made the Oktoberfest experience for the guests. Trust me- you want this band!
Price Range: $1000 - $5000
Gig Length: 30 - 240 minutes

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.
