Saint City Orchestra at Pol'and'Rock Festival


The energetic folk-inspired band from St. Gallen in Switzerland is going to take the Second Stage audience straight on a pub crawl across the Green Island!


A lot of careers in the music business start bumpy and with huge detours but the "SAINT CITY ORCHESTRA" seems to know only one direction: strait-ways and steep uphill! It's been only four years since the - you could almost say by chance - the foundation of the band. Encouraged from over a 100 Stage shows, the Swiss answer to Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys and Mumford and Sons decided to drop their first Single "KNIGHTS & THIEVES" in June 2017. Two months later followed by the self-titled debut-EP. But their home is and stays the stage, and so they toured nonstop all across the country making sure no t-shirt stays dry! The clubs got more prominent and fuller, they changed from side stages to main stages and also inspired the crowds at major festivals.


Line-up: Sandro Schmid - vocal , guitar, tabourine;  Mäsi Eigenmann - guitar, vocal, mandoline, drum; Jérome Graf - bass, contrabas;  Eschenmoser - acordeon
