In 2011, a new chapter was opened in the Boogie-Woogie and Blues music scene in Switzerland. The International Boogie Nights Uster celebrated its premiere in the Wagerenhofsaal in front of an audience of 280 enthusiastic guests. The audience was thrilled by an impressive line-up of top-notch musicians such as the Swiss Boogie pianist Silvan Zingg and the virtuoso pianist Christoph Steinbach. The unique atmosphere of the Wagerenhofsaal and the musicians' passion made for an unforgettable night and laid the foundation for a festival that would continue to grow in the following years and capture the hearts of music lovers from all over the world.
