I just finished listening to a live broadcast of the Grand Prix der Volksmusik from Sudtirol in Algund, Italy. They were the last ones to hold there preliminary contest that determines the 4 finalists that will be going to Zurich, Switzerland on August 30.
Check out the final standings of each country that is participating listed below.
Sorry to say the Schmalzlers are not in the finalists, but they will be coming to the Milwaukee German Fest in July 2008. However, many people in Milwaukee and the people who attended Ted Hierl's Cruise last year will be happy to see that the Schaefers made it to the finals. If you would like to hear the interview that the Schaefers gave to the Stimmung Stunde back in 2005, click here -1, 2, 3, Video.
Of course, my favorites are the brother duo, Vincent & Fernando. They were the first entertainers that gave the Stimmung Stunde an interview and you can still hear that interview by clicking here - 1, 2, 3. Here is a link to Maria Olliges' fan club page, who was the Talent Coordinator for the Stimmung Stunde and still ver active in the Volksmusik world.
