Born on April 22, 1978, accordionist, singer, and songwriter Marc Pircher is a popular volkstümliche musik artist from Tyrol, Austria. Released in 2001, Feierabend in den Bergen was his first album to chart nationally, peaking at number 67, and Pircher won the Grand Prix der Volksmusik in 2003 with "Hey Diandl, Spürst Es So Wie I." In 2006 he enjoyed a phenomenal hit, "7 Sünden," in conjunction with supreme hitmaker DJ Ötzi, also of Tyrol. The song charted for a half-year and peaked at number two in Austria while also becoming a hit in Germany. Pircher's subsequent album release, 2007's Du Bist Eine Sünde Wert, was his first to break the Top Ten, while 2008's Durch die Nacht -- Nur mit Dir broke the Top Three. ~ Jason Birchmeier
