STEPHIE HACKER - Glücksmomente (2025)

With "Glücksmomente" (Moments of Happiness), Austrian singer, pianist, and songwriter Stephie Hacker presents an album that hovers between jazz, songwriting, and classical sound poetry. Twelve songs tell of the last ten years of her life—of the balance between stage and family, of letting go, of new beginnings, of the happiness that often reveals itself in quiet moments.

Her warm voice, sensitive piano playing, and artful arrangements make "Glücksmomente" a work of both depth and lightness. Supported by her band (Laurenz Hacker - vocals, bass, and Christian Salfellner - drums) in the Wavegarden and guest musicians Arnulf Barrable-Lindner, David Mandlburger, Andi Steirer, Alois Eberl, and Emanule Fusaro, an intimate and vibrant soundscape emerges.

Recorded at Wavegarden and Acoustic Art Studios, and produced by Hacker herself, the album showcases an artist who has carved out her own unique niche between vocal jazz, singer-songwriter, and classical sound aesthetics.

"Glücksmomente" (Moments of Happiness) is a musical breath of fresh air—honest, touching, and full of warmth. An album for everyone who wants to not just hear music, but feel it.
