Oliver Blessinger is a musician, actor, storyteller, enabler, and dreamer – an artist driven since childhood by the sound of dialect music. At the age of six, the song “D’Rosemarie und i” by Rumpelstilz ignited a fire in him that still burns today.
In 1992, Blessinger took to the stage for the first time with his band National – at the old schoolhouse in Erschwil. The hall was packed, and the audience was euphoric. As with all of the band’s concerts – the live photos on the website speak for themselves.
Their song “Schwitzerland” was sung throughout the Laufental and Schwarzbubenland regions. The album Variété marked their breakthrough: radio, television, sold-out shows. In 1995, SRF 3 named the song “Nachrichte” the best anti-racist song as part of Rockkid gegen Hass (“Rockkid Against Hate”). The prize: a performance at Zurich’s Platzspitz – alongside Zucchero, Jovanotti, and Züri West.
After five intense years with the band and four albums, Blessinger went on to study acting in Cologne. Engagements in Zurich, St. Gallen, Chur, Berlin, and Frankfurt shaped him into a Solothurn-born Basel artist who feels at home on Swiss stages.
In 2007, Blessinger released his first solo album Neui Wält, followed by four more. Today, he is back on stage with a band. Oliver Blessinger is no longer a one-man show, but a collective of energy and emotion. With the upcoming album Wenn nid jetz, wenn denn (“If Not Now, When?”), the band is ready to open the next chapter of its career.
