21:00 Special Reserve feat. Herwig Neugebauer & Dreamteam


Dreamteam - to start out with such a titular handicap!
We're cut out of the stuff that makes for dreaming
And these dreams will now fling open wide the eyes
Just as little children under cherry trees
Watch the full moon lifting through the high tree crown
Make its pale gold run across the great night skies
Like slender gorse hands in a well locked-up room
Our innermost sees itself stitch its own seam
It stays within us and stays always alive
Thus Three make One: person, object and a dream.
Hugo von Hofmannsthal (adap/trans. KK)
In German, only one letter separates the word for dream -- Traum -- from trauma. Here, four gifted musicians will add up to make the One. Come together! RD

Admission: ATS 120.-

24:00 Deishovida


The name Deishovida (meaning "die schon wieder" or "them, again") is appropriate in this case since this Styrian group should appear familiar to Porgy regulars with good memories. The Deishovida people describe their music as Fast Folk, and whoever wants to know what this means and how it sounds should come prepared for some surprises. Rather than a Liederabend presented by a bunch of charming Styrian traditionalists dressed up in local costumes, this evening will feature stoked-up unison melodies which bear the imprint of jazz and rock. Deserving special mention is the Hurdy-Gurdy Man, who produces some incredible results on this incredible instrument. CH

Admission: ATS 150.-
