Austria's Andreas Gabalier calls his particular blend of alpine accordion and big city party jams “Volks-Rock'n'Roll”, and his catchy riffs and eye-catching lederhosen-and-sunglasses fashion sense have made him a top concert draw across the German-language pop scene. But although he has a way with smooth schlager ballads and a thoroughly contemporary feel for synthesised disco hooks, that wired-up accordion isn't just for show—volksmusik traditionalists might be surprised at how expertly Gabalier's fingers traverse those tricky alpine melodies.
