Sing.
Let me sing.
Of love, of pain,
Of the stupidity of men.
And in the midst of it all,
Whose child I am
Kurt sings
At the age of 15, it was his sister who brought him into his brother-in-law's band. This resulted in the Bluesrock Band calles «Count the Calls». A formation that lasted for five years. After moving to Lucerne, he attended the Swiss Jazz School, Lucerne for a few semesters and joined the «Nothing Else Blues Band», a relatively successful cover band with a large fan base. However, Zeltner never found it satisfying to only play covers, which is why he soon switched to «Racoon». Here he contributed the lyrics to their second album "Still Here". The first airplays and some unforgettable performances with his friends in the band remained formative. Professional prospects and his father's serious illness forced him back to Bern. He got to know “Polo Hofer” and some exponents of the “Zytglogge” publishing house, who encouraged him to intensify his musical path. He recorded the EP “Here I come” and consequently toured the country full-time for two years. He slept in his Chevrolet Caprice and drove from gig to gig. The heroin crash and death of his drummer, but also his own increasing addiction to alcohol, finally made him stop and shift down a gear. To the joy and without professional ambitions, great years followed with Walter & Res Bönzli (drum & bass) and Daniel Costantino on guitar. For the band with changing names such as "Horny Horse & the Dirty Cowboys", "Big Shampoo & the Running Rexonas" or "Chicken George & the Blackfeet" the focus was on having fun. In 2012, Zeltner founded the band "BLOOZE" together with René Kälin and rediscovered his ambition. The album "The Boxer" followed. Since 2017 he has also been pursuing his solo project with «A Stack of Black» and various singles or EPs. Zeltner sings, plays slide trombone and harmonica.
