The Priester Sisters are a captivating trio of sisters originaly from Slovakia. Known for their rich three-part vocal harmonies and distinctive sound, they fuse alternative pop, rock, and folk with touches of psychedelic and swing. Their performances combine emotional depth with instrumental virtuosity, using piano, guitar, violin, and accordion to create a sound that is both intimate and powerful. Their music reflects their creativity, individuality, and the wide range of influences they have gathered over the years on their artistic journey.
The Priester Sisters have performed across Europe, enchanting audiences in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Poland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. They've collaborated with event organizers like Orange Room Berlin, appeared on major platforms such as Jazz Radio Berlin, Rock Radio Berlin, and have been featured on several television shows.
In 2015, they were awarded the Golden Gander for Best Live Performance at the Kremnické Gagy Festival in Slovakia. Earlier highlights include collaborations with the Central Band of the Czech Army and performances at prestigious events like the Thalia Awards at the National Theater in Prague. Their artistic activities extend beyond music as well - they've taken on acting roles, including in the fairytale film The Promised Princess.

In 2017 a new circus show Younak appeared in the modern circus scene. The show uniquely combines Slovakian folklore and its traditional music and dance with non-verbal theatre, improvisation and modern scenic music. The director of the show is the widely recognized Adrian Schvarzstein (Spain). His sense of humor makes people laugh through the whole show and leaves the audience with a strong impression. The plot is inspired by the story of Slovakian brigand Jánošík. However, the show is not a simple narration, but shows fragments and artistic pictures of the general atmosphere of the brigand age as well as of the life of Jánošík and the mark of his personality on society. The Priester Sisters are taking a part in this project not only as a folklore band, but also as actors and dancers. The circus show will be performing in the next couple of years in many places, so make sure to see it at least once. ;)

What is a summer comfort without some chilled out busking? So we tried it several times in Berlin and we have to say that with the Roland Mobile AC Acoustic Chorus amplifiers, it’s really a joy! We show how it would look like in Prague on the Old Town Square in our videoclip shot together with very handy cameraman Martin Novotný. Of course the city police obliged, and joined our video with pleasure ;)
