The Night Angels are a group of 6 Hobby-Musicians from the ages of 30-50 years old. They met each other when we played in the Original Siebenbürger Blaskapelle (brass band) in Munich, in which several of them are still members. This band has been together for the last 16 years, and enjoy having fun making music.

They have performed all over Germany, and were on tour in Hungary and Rumania. Performances range from simple birthday celebrations to large city festivals or company events. Their tour in the USA will include La Crosse, Wisconsin Oktoberfest, October 1st through the 3rd; New Glarus Hotel and Restaurant, New Glarus, Wisconsin, October 7th and 8th; New Ulm, MN Octoberfest, October 10th and 11th; and of course West Bend & Hartford, Wisconsin.
