Severin Trogbacher

Severin Trogbacher

Name: Severin Trogbacher

Lives: Vienna

Instrument: Guitar

Musical beginnings: I received my first violin at the age of five, which I then chucked in years later for a grotty bass. This then had to give way a few months later to the instrument of my final calling, the electric guitar. The violin and the bass, together with a viola and some Jews' harps, kazoos and other frippery are still in my possession though, because I still haven't mastered the art of selling on eBay ...

Career highlights: Guitarist on Hubert von Goisern's Linz Europe Tour and S' Nix Tour 2008-2009, as well as the S'Nix album, guest appearances in 2010 with Konstantin Wecker (including in the Vienna Konzerthaus) and Xavier Naidoo, Gitarrist der Stageband in der ORF-Show Wahre Freunde (fünf Staffeln von 2004 - 2006), Guitarist in the band for Starmania 2-winner Verena Pötzl (including appearances at Aerodrome 2004 and in the Wiener Stadthalle), studio guitarist for Kalle Arnoldy, participant in the German Bundesvision Song Contest 2007, on the single for the same event, and many more. 2009 founder of the artist collective West Belt United and in the course of this, the jam platform West Belt United Groove Club in Vienna.

Favourite music: The top five CDs (in no particular order): Sting - Mercury Falling, Miles Davis - Live around the World, Erykah Badu - Baduizm Live, Dominic Miller - Second Nature, Me'shell Ndegéocello - Peace beyond Passion

Three things I'd take with me to a desert island:
An electric guitar, an amplifier and a jack cable. There's electricity there, right?
