Matthias Schriefl, born 1981 grew up in Maria Rain, located at the edge of the Alps. From 2000 until 2005 he studied in Cologne and Amsterdam. Ever since 2006 he organizes the concert series Jazz-O-Rama at the Art-theater in Cologne. Followed by the tours with his Band Shreefpunk as „Rising Star”, of the European Concert Hall Organization from 2008 until 2010 in Europe’s great concert halls. After this tour, he decided to experience foremost with alpine music. In 2012, ACT released a series of „Young German Jazz“, with the repeatedly awarded album “Six, Alps & Jazz”. From then on, new CD-recordings with various bands in which he, as musician and composer wrote the compositions, fitting his fellow musicians like neoprene suits.
Schriefl, is mostly living in Cologne and at times in the German Alpine region. His musical curiosity is leading him time and again to lengthy educational trips through India and various African and South-American countries where he studied their music traditions. In 2016, his versatile engagement was rewarded with the World-Music Award RUTH in Rudolstadt. He knows and loves big venues but values also the regular concert locations in smaller, rural areas where he presents his jazz to the local audiences.

A Christmas interpretation like you´ve never heared before. Balkan meets Jazz meets Schlager meets Pop meets Ska meets Punk meets Samba meets Afro-Beat.
“With selected pieces from Bossa Nova up to David Hasselhoff he chased wildly through the style centrifuge and performed the definitely funniest concert.” Oliver Hochkeppel, NMZ
Yes indeed, with this band, life is a musical request program. With many of these German hits one discovers a totally new experience since they are saturated with a refinement in language as well as music, hardly ever found in Radio Hits.
“His music is very “REAL”. That is to say it is deeply honest, sensitive, humorous, and adventurous.” Bobby Shew

“Mountain-Music, creating the most beautiful echo from the audience.” Ssirus W. Pakzad, Jazzthing
Creative, smart, up-to-date. Exciting suspense among the audience about what to expect when during this musical travelling around the world, a musician from the Alpine Region meets a yodeling blues from New Orleans. Or a Hip Hop, or whatever.

Jazz, Punk plus Strings – whoever thinks of something like that? Shreefpunk blows new Jazz in the ears of his audience: anarchic without respect regarding listening expectations – but nevertheless with great love for exciting melodies, grooves and fun plus brave experimental Jazz.

Music, loaded with bizarre phrases. At times surprising with cow bells, bird luring whistles and children’s toys producing pictures. During “Vienna” the snowed in wonderful schizophrenic Valse-City appears, and during “New York” the band appears to fly backwards with its trumpet soli…
