Erika Stucky

Erika Stucky is best known as a singer, composer and performer. With her unmistakable voice and radical stage presence, she has moved between jazz, the American folk tradition, experimental music and Alpine yodelling since the mid-1980s. Having performed more than five thousand concerts on every continent, she has become one of the most extraordinary figures on the international music scene.

Shaped by her childhood spent between San Francisco and Valais, Stucky has always combined seemingly contrasting elements, such as yodelling, blues, jazz, rock and performance art. Her unique stage format, which lies somewhere between "story-singing" and "song-telling", offers intimate insights into her eventful artistic life while celebrating the unbridled power of her music. On stage, she synchronises images and films with songs, life stories and touring anecdotes. Memories meet improvisation and archives merge with the present.

She is joined by her long-standing collaborators: percussionist Lucas Niggli and guitarist Oli Hartung. This is an evening that blends a concert, a performance and a road movie. It is a journey through five decades that is both uncompromising and personal.
