ELSA is a four-piece band led by singer-songwriter Elsa Steixner. Their second album, JUMP!, tells its story in subtle nuances and with great emotion. These are songs that move between catchiness and mystery, between intuition and musical finesse. Though all four musicians share a solid jazz foundation from their studies (Academy of the Arts, NL), their music defies categorization, moving freely beyond genre lines. Their sound moves confidently between art pop, folk, blues, and improvisational openness. - A sound language that remains emotionally accessible without being predictable. The band has won several awards, including the Start Scholarship from the Austrian Federal Ministry of Music, the Audience Award at the Avignon Jazz Festival, and the Sparda Jazz Award, and has had an international presence since its inception. With JUMP!, the band released their second album in 2025, with which they have been touring Europe ever since with concert appearances at renowned venues such as Porgy & Bess, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Wiener Festwochen, and recordings at Abbey Road Studios in London.
