Summary: ​AlpenFolk was formed as an Austrian style folk duet in 1987 by Thomas Tilton and Corinne Pflug-Tilton. Now a quartet, Thomas plays the traditional steirische Harmonika, or button accordion, while Cori contributes the lovely ring of the hammered dulcimer. Their son, Peter steals the show with fine guitar work, rhythm instruments and vocals. Completing the ensemble is the talented Robert Baumann on string bass and vocals. The combination of these folk instruments, along with traditional vocals and yodeling, gives AlpenFolk a uniqueness and authenticity rarely enjoyed outside of the alpine regions from which their music is drawn.
Mission: Whatever the occasion, AlpenFolk is versatile and flexible – the right choice for a variety of venues. Whether an intimate gathering or the full-blown folk festival, AlpenFolk has the right set-up. While some bookings call for quiet background music, others involve dancing, sing-alongs and special demonstrations! With button accordion, hammered dulcimer, bass and guitar, AlpenFolk always delivers its unmistakable, irresistible alpine sound.

Grüß Gott! AlpenFolk presents the music and folklore of the Alps with authentic instruments, singing and yodeling. We offer alpine music the way it was meant to be played – the way it is played today in rustic inns and mountain chalets of Bavaria, Tyrol, Styria and throughout the Alps!
