Melissa Naschenweng & Band - Live

Melissa Naschenweng has developed into one of the most successful and popular artists in the country within just a few years. With her captivating mix of schlager, pop, rock, and folk influences, she fascinates a cross-generational audience of young and old alike, who celebrate the down-to-earth yet modern and open-minded nature of this powerhouse woman, who grew up in the Lesachtal valley in Carinthia. Melissa Naschenweng loves to play with clichés in her music, break with dusty traditions, and unite seemingly opposing elements in her own contemporary style. Pink leather pants, a pink accordion, Melissa's pink world. For the past five years, Melissa Naschenweng's chart and success meter has been clear skies. And for just as long, she has shown her unique selling point with unwavering authenticity in an industry that otherwise struggles without rose-colored glasses. Melissa, like the country, is the woman. She is who she is. She won't be silenced.

Since her childhood, nothing happens for Melissa without her accordion – also because she has firmly embedded the accordion in rock 'n' roll and shows her audience that a woman can certainly hold her own against the boys in rustic rock. For those who doubt, let it be noted: mountain farmers, or rather the boys among them, driving tractors, mowing meadows, chopping wood are not just sung clichés in her case, but simply taken from Melissa's life. Melissa is like the valley. With edges and corners, romantic and wild. Hard and tender.
