Ambros and Steinbäcker at Concert for Bäer Birthday in Vienna
He could be described as THE sideman of Austropop: Ulli Bäer is one of the most sought-after live and studio musicians in Austria. But that would not do justice to the singer and guitarist, as he is also active in other genres and has had hits himself such as "Der Durscht", "Schönes Madl" and "Verkraumpf di net". On April 26, the Viennese will turn 70 years old. The celebration will take place exactly on his birthday at the Globe Vienna with a concert featuring friends like Wolfgang Ambros.
Steinbäcker to Join Concert in Vienna
Alongside "Wolferl", Maria Ma Terzett, Andy Baum, and Gert Steinbäcker will perform with Bäer and share one or two memories with the audience. Bäer looks back on a long career. Born as Peter Geyer, the self-taught musician played in various amateur bands in his youth. He became known in the early 1980s when he landed a top-5 hit with his dialect song "Der Durscht". With Ambros and Peter Koller as producers, he recorded the solo albums "Erwachsene gibt's gnua" and "Alle Lichter".
Bäer Founded "The Boys of Hairnoise"
In 1992, Bäer founded "The Boys of Hairnoise", a combo that played blues and rock'n'roll in the style of the 1960s. Since 1994, Bäer, who also dedicated himself to the New Viennese Song, has been working as a freelance guitarist, singer, and composer, first with Georg Danzer, then with "Austria 3" as well as with Brunner & Brunner. In 2011, a new group "Wir vier" was formed from former members of the "Austria 3-Band" with Bäer, Gary Lux, Harald Fendrich, and Harry Stampfer.
