Alpenfest’s origins date back to 1970 in a Dickinson, TX German Restaurant named Hofbräugarten. The name Alpenfest was copyrighted in January 1984 by Mike Barker. With thousands of hours of performance since its inception, Alpenfest is well known in the Gulf Coast area of Texas. Alpenfest continues to be the busiest German band in Texas.
Alpenfest is much more than an oompah band. Our specialties include four thirteen foot Swiss alphorns, a tuned set of Austrian cowbells, Holzanes G’Lächter (German xylophone), tuned musical hand saws, and yodeling.
Audience participation is an important part of our show with singing, dancing, swinging back and forth with the music, and performing songs with the band. The “Chicken Dance” and other fun novelty songs are always enjoyable.
With as few as two musicians or as many as seven, the versatility of Alpenfest’s musicians creates the sound of a much larger group. With thirty-four years of professional performance experience, you know there will always be quality and family entertainment.
