Hippie picnics in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to a flowery soundtrack of the Monkees, Donovan and Nancy Sinatra. Then suddenly the scene changes abruptly to mountain valleys, yodelling choruses and polka folk in traditional Swiss costume with the Valais Alps looming on the horizon. How a child can handle such a disparate wealth of idyll, how a woman can finally create her own unique vocal universe from it, this we have been able to experience and enjoy in the past few years when the Alpine-American Erica Stucky blesses us with her stage and CD presence. Now she invites us to a third audience with “Princess“- and we hear a nutty, playful, royally profound soundwork with blue and hot-blooded prominence en masse. A big and robust rival to the frail princess of the pea.

“Fasten your seat belt, I´m taking you on my trip : We will be overflying the so-called Heidi Alps, hitting Charles Manson on our way, passing Doris Day (or was it Mrs. Tate?), only to meet Nazareth for lunch and steal a kiss from Screaming Jay Hawkins or Joe Pesci whoever is home - and end up wiggling Rosmary‘s baby to sleep... Lean back, close your eyes and Trust In Me!“
