Ticket to Happiness - the name says it all! The musical style and motivation of the band from Siegen, Münster and Bielefeld is energetic folk rock with the aim of putting the audience and themselves in an emotional state of joy, celebration, dancing and happiness. Fast, danceable folk songs alternate with soulful ballads and virtuoso instrumental pieces. The seven full-blooded musicians take their listeners on a varied musical journey - sometimes with elements of Irish or American folk, sometimes with the feel of southern European street music.

Since their formation in 2016, the band has already released two studio albums, which were developed and produced to a high standard in collaboration with successful producer Pomez di Lorenzo. The first album "All Aboard" won eight awards at the German Rock and Pop Prize 2018. The second album "Roaming Riders" also won first prize in the Latin Pop category in 2020 for the song "El Ritmo del Amor". Live appearances at renowned festivals such as Rudolstadt, Folk im Allgäu and the Bardentreffen in Nuremberg crown the band's tour dates. Handmade music that captivates and inspires!
