We have been creating enjoyable musical experiences since 2006, when on that magical day in April, four good friends unanimously decided that “all women deserve more attention and praise.” That’s how Podokničarji were born – men under the window, knights of serenades, and masters of romantic exploits. At first, we played touching, heartwarming love melodies under the windows of chosen ladies, but the idea quickly grew into something more and became our distinctive musical signature. Over the years, we transformed from a quasi-string quartet into a five-piece ensemble, with the charming breeze of the clarinet enriching the vibrations of our strings and taking the group to a completely new level. We delight audiences with evergreen melodies, hits from the ’90s, Slovenian folk and traditional songs, Dalmatian and old-town tunes, pop, rock, and all those songs that bring a genuine smile to the face. Of course, we don’t always play purely instrumental – sometimes we sing, whisper, or proudly soar into the highs. For the nostalgic, we always have a pinch of Dalmatian “salt” on the strings; for the festive crowd, lively tunes abound – because, as you know, no celebration is complete without “Golica”!
Over all these years, we have performed more than 600 shows at home and abroad – from Slovenian mountains to Italian streets, French promenades, Spanish terraces, Austrian halls, Bosnian events, and Croatian coasts. We carry experience from all types of events: birthdays, weddings and wedding dinners, official events, TV appearances, surprises under windows, and even as street musicians who know how to lure passersby away from the screens of their phones.
Occasionally, we also organize fully independent concerts, seasoned with a pinch of comedy, plenty of charm, and enough energy to light up a streetlamp or two.
