Bier Musikanten

Bier Musikanten at Oktoberfest 2024

The Bier Musikanten is a 5 piece brass band and friends plus an occasional accordion founded in 2020 by members of the Deutsches Haus and established in 2021 with their first appearance at Volksfest. The mission is to play German traditional, oompah, polka, pop, rock, Schlager music mixed with a funky brass sound to create a Gumbo that keeps our joint cultural heritage alive. In short Blasmusik is to Germany what brass music is to New Orleans.

Mixing different styles of a traditional “Blasorchester” with Oktoberfest music, wine drinking songs from the river Rhein area, a classical formation of “Posaunenchor” playing Christmas chorals, throwing in the Saxophone and drums as an ingredient of a Nola Brass Band and the occasional accordion to provide that extra touch of Zydeco, we are having fun with a bit of everything for each season.

Deutsches Haus Hymn (to the melody of “So lang der alte Peter”)

As long as old Louis at Armstrong Park glows,
As long as the Mississippi through New Orleans flows,
As long as here at the Bayou stands the Deutsches Haus,
So long not dies the coziness in N’awlins never out,
So long not dies the coziness in N’awlins never out.
