Dominik Ofner: The Styrian star of the Schürzenjäger in Pinzgau!

The music scene in Pinzgau can proudly look back on an outstanding representative: Dominik Ofner, who has been rocking the stage as frontman and singer of the popular band Schürzenjäger for five years. Born in Styria, Ofner has spent the last few years in the picturesque region at the foot of the Alps and delights his fans with stirring melodies and encouraging lyrics that are intended to strengthen self-confidence. The mixture of Alpine rock, hard rock, Austropop and polka appeals to all generations and inspires not only long-established fans, but also the young generation of musicians.

Ofner began his musical career at the tender age of seven when he discovered the Styrian harmonica. He was inspired by the music of the Oberkrainer band and especially by the Schürzenjäger, a band that also shaped his paternal legacy, as his father, a big fan, died far too early. After an exciting appearance on the TV show “The Big Chance” in 2011, in which he reached the semi-finals, an impressive development followed that earned him his first record deal.

From the opening act to the main act

Ofner initially played as the opening act for the Schürzenjäger and thus showed his great talent. In 2013, fate took its course: Alfred Senior, one of the band's founding fathers, saw Ofner as a possible successor. A few years later, Alf Junior, Alfred Senior's son, asked him if he would like to become the Schürzenjäger's new singer. And he did, because the band, which has been active for over 55 years and enjoyed unparalleled success during this time, fits Ofner's career and character perfectly.

Ofner is currently working hard at the Lenz music store, which perfectly balances his love of music and his family life. His wife and his boss support him actively, so that as a father of two he masters the challenges of life.

The coming highlights

Fans of the Schürzenjäger can look forward to an exciting musical program. An open-air concert on August 23, 2025 in Finkenberg in the Zillertal is planned. The Mountainmania tour will also travel through Germany, with performances in Cologne, Berlin and Hamburg on the program. A few concerts are also planned for the Austrians, which will also include TV presence. A very special event will be the concert performance at the Lipizzanerabtrieb in Köflach.

Dominik Ofner, who enriches the Austrian music market with passion and dedication, will certainly create some unforgettable moments for his fans in the coming weeks and months. His journey from a little Styrian boy to one of the most prominent faces of the Schürzenjäger is proof of how far dreams and hard work can take you.
