Anna Martin-Scrase - Cello
Anna was born in Vermont, USA but has integrated well into the ‘Salzburg Szene’ since the age of 16.
A prized student of the ‘Classical’ University Mozarteum Salzburg , she performs in various chamber ensembles and orchestras and also gives solo concerts throughout Europe and America.
She is a founding member of ‘Acoustic Friends’ and has always been very generous with her time. Not always a ‘morning
person’ but very flexible in musical style and she even made the switch to Electric Cello!
Thank you Anna for bringing a warmth and beauty to every performance. You shine
:-)
Wolfgang Grubmüller - Bass
The 'veteran' of the team and a regular on the Rockhouse stage with local band, 'Blues
Unlimited’. Wolfgang has well over 30 years ‘service to the back-line’. His bass rhythms are often syncopated with his cries of joy and excitement on the
stage!
Wolfi’s experience, guidance and honesty grounds and motivates the complete band. He’s known affectionately as 'Vati',
(being my Father-in-law) and he’s often a ‘trusty taxi driver’ for the
others. He’s a talented, energetic musician, a valuable asset to the band and a trusted
friend.
Danke Vati.
Wolfgang Höllerer - Percussion / Vocals
Not only well studied (“American Institute of Music”, Vienna & „Anton Bruckner Konservatorium“, Linz), Wolf is one of the hardest working musicians I
know!
Drum lessons, performances, workshops and co-authoring a drum book ’Rudimental
Secrets’ left little time for rehearsals and touring but he made it work!
Dedicated and extremely talented, Wolf brings fun, energy and ‘groove’ to the
team.
Thanks mate, it is always a pleasure to work together.

Verena Niederberger - Vocals
Verena brings an innocence, freshness and power to the team. We met some years ago in Unken, a neighbouring village to Lofer. We struck up a friendship due to our common interest in music and particularly
performance. Her talent is sure to take her places! On stage, she possesses a strength and calmness way beyond her years and she is a very sought after live performer for obvious
reasons.
Thank you Verena for your dedication, excitement and live ‘vibrance’!
David Varela - Violin
I was fortunate enough to meet David between his major solo classical
performances. He had the time and more importantly he really connected with my
music. In a relatively short time he came up to speed with the program and was quickly absorbed as a new ‘Acoustic
Friend’. I’m so glad he ‘Crossed Over’ to our musical realm as his talents have produced outstanding
results.
As promised, I will buy the ‘Coronas’ at your hometown beach in Mexico when I
visit. Salud!
Heidi 'Rusty' Vogl - Vocals
A special welcome to Heidi as she joins us once again on the stage. Heidi
sung brilliantly on my first album 'truth' and we are
all excited by her power and presence on the stage.
She is also the driving force in our 'party band formation' - JUMP!
We look forward to many amazing concerts in the future . . .
Thanks Rusty :-) http://www.heidivogl.de
