“He taught me everything I know about performing and reading a crowd…he sang with me and taught me how to harmonize and yodel in that same tiny corner of the world where his parents taught him…as a little girl, I remember my dad introducing me to the audiences we sang for, now it is my privilege. Ladies and gentlemen, my dad, Atz Kilcher

“A powerful energy gifted with divine musical talent. We’re given a glimpse into life and love in a log cabin where so much talent originated at eh hands of two young immigrants who believed in the power of music. Atz is a master story weaver and I am forever grateful for being part of his musical journey.”
