Our Freiburg story Authentic live music from Freiburg

Winni, Konrad and Viktor are the Weichsel Sharks Freiburg. The three of them met somewhere else entirely, though: in a small, picturesque village in the Ardèche. For more than twenty years they met there every summer for a musical holiday, with culinary discoveries, cold dips in the river and countless jam sessions deep into the night.

When Viktor returned to his old home town of Freiburg in 2025, one thing quickly became clear: the spirit of the Berlin Weichsel Sharks should move south with him. That is how our Freiburg jazz trio came about – three musicians with international experience, firmly rooted in the local scene and united by friendship, the joy of playing and a love of jazz.

Live music for events in Freiburg & Basel Wedding, corporate event or reception

Whether it is a wedding in the Black Forest, a corporate event in Freiburg’s old town or a reception in Basel: we play at events throughout the region and bring exactly the music the moment needs. Understated and charming at the champagne reception, elegant at dinner, upbeat when the evening gathers pace.

As an intimate duo, a classic jazz trio or a quartet with singer, we adapt to your occasion. What stays the same: an acoustic sound, plenty of improvisation and the sheer joy of making music together.

Testimonials

What our clients say

★★★★★
The Weichsel Sharks played at our wedding party. Because of Covid it was a garden party and the band played unamplified – that worked wonderfully. The tasteful, intimate style suited the atmosphere perfectly. A superb combination of danceable swing and creative jazz, a high musical standard and uncomplicated organisation. Highly recommended!
