Country Seefest Savognin am Lai Barnagn
Feast, celebrate and enjoy at the Lai Barnagn bathing lake in Savognin

Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16

Howdy and welcome to this year's Seefest, one of the most popular events of the year! Under the motto "Country", you can expect an unforgettable time this year with culinary delights from Val Surses, country music and lots of fun.

Our culinary offer is a highlight for all gourmets. Together, the Tgesa Romana, the Hotel Solaria, the Palaver Bar, the Hotel Piz Mitgel and the Berghuus Radons will spoil you with culinary delights. Let yourself be surprised by our talented chefs and enjoy the meal in a relaxed atmosphere on the lakeshore.

For the brave visitors among you, there is a special attraction: bullriding! Here you can show off your riding skills and show that you are a real cowboy or a real cowgirl. But don't worry, for those who like it a little quieter, there are plenty of other activities on offer.
Cow patty bingo will also be offered this year – a fun and unique experience that you definitely won't want to miss! On Friday evening, you can bet on the betting fields at the Countrybar and on Saturday from 12:00 to 15:00 at Lai Barnagn. The bingo starts on Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

ToaK - tow of a kind
ToaK - are two who have dedicated themselves to country music. Two of the same kind. 2 voices and 1 guitar, plus selected song pearls from old and new times. Everything LIVE and without a false bottom with a lot of joy of playing, heart, charm and wit. Tanja impresses with her warm country voice. Her soulful phrasing brings the songs to life. Markus stands with both feet firmly on the ground and pulls the strings at Toak. The sonorous voice is the ideal complement to Tanja's. His guitar gives ToaK's program the necessary warmth. With his down-to-earth manner, he leads through the program informatively and with wit.

The Clintonics
''Once upon a time, a long time ago...... ClinTonics!'' If Delbert McClinton were Snow White, then these 7 gentlemen would be his dwarfs. But far from it - on the contrary! With this band you could undoubtedly speak of a so-called ''supergroup''. Up to almost 60 years of stage experience, sounding names such as ''Earlybirds'', ''Bluesbox'' and ''Howdy'' meet Jazzschule Luzern or MI PIT School in London and pursue one goal: to celebrate the music of Delbert McClinton. Songs by The Eagles, Chris Stapleton or The Wailers are also played with a lot of enthusiasm. Whether it's the Albisgüetli Country Festival, the Interlaken Trucker Festival or on a small scale – if you stay at home, it's your own fault!

Buddy Dee & the Ghostriders
Buddy started out as a street musician in the 80s and quickly developed into a talented singer and guitarist. With his band "Band Buddy Dee & the Ghostriders" he revolutionized the Swiss country scene and gained international recognition with their albums, especially through the productions in Nashville. His career has taken him from small clubs to large festivals all over Europe, on the Mediterranean and even in Africa, where he gained an ever-growing fan base. A highlight of his career is winning the Prix Walo 2015 in the "Country" category. The fact that Buddy has been playing with the current formation of the Ghostriders since 2006 is a stroke of luck. The special band groove, the joy of playing and the family business among the musicians also comes across at the concerts... Buddy Dee celebrates 40 years of Buddy on stage this year!

Cloverleaf
the perfect rock cover band. With their years of stage experience at various open-airs, city festivals, music bars, company parties or even at private events, this band convinces with professional appearance and perfectly played songs. The repertoire ranges from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, Status Quo, AC/DC, Uriah Heep, ZZ Top, Deep Purple and... and... and...
