The Cover Girls & Big Band Weiz
Three voices that sound like one, captivating swing and irresistible charm: The Andrews Sisters - Maxene, Patty, and LaVerne - shaped the sound of the 1930s and 1940s with their distinctive singing. Their closely-knit harmonies, rhythmic precision, and exuberant zest for life turned songs like “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” into world hits that continue to thrill audiences today.

With “A Tribute to the Andrews Sisters”, the Cover Girls revive this musical brilliance. Ulrike, Isabel, and Eva combine finely tuned vocals with the precision of Manhattan Transfer or Comedian Harmonists, infused with stage charm and a noticeable passion for the golden era of Swing. In addition to world-famous hits by the Andrews Sisters, their own compositions also find a place in the program – a tribute with a very personal touch.
For the perfect big band sound, the Big Band Weiz delivers: Radiant brass sections, a grooving rhythm group, and soulful solos provide the three voices with the appropriate musical framework.
The Big Band Weiz has been a mainstay of the Styrian jazz scene for more than four decades. Under the direction of Christoph Pfeiffer, it combines the preservation of the great big band tradition with musical openness. Performances with international stars like drumming legend Billy Cobham, pianist Bill Laurance, and trumpet virtuoso James Morrison are among the highlights of its history and underline the versatility of the ensemble.
