Alphorn Ballade - S-Bahn Band

S-Bahn Band's new official music video: 'Alpenhorn Ballade'.

Composer: Denis Armitage
Accordion/Arranger/Producer: Richard Tyce
Alphorn: Jim Hopson
Guitar: Alex Flock
Drums: Johnny Villareal

In July 2017, Richard Tyce, Jim Hopson, Alex Flock and Johnny Villarreal of the S-Bahn Band hiked 2km up Cypress Mountain to the Bowen Island Lookout. We carried over 300 lbs of equipment, including: a drum kit, a guitar, 2 accordions, battery powered amps, cameras, and a Swiss alphorn... no Sherpa in sight. We portaged across the snow banks, narrowly avoided being eaten by a bear, and then spent the day filming in the hot sun. We literally put our blood, sweat, and even tears into this project, but the results speak for themselves. Enjoy!
