Alongside Attwenger he is considered as one of the most influential heads of the "Neue Volksmusik" (lit. "New Folklore Music") movement.
He became famous as Hubert von Goisern und die Alpinkatzen.
After this very successful setup split by the end of 1994,
HvG produced two world music CD with musicians from Tibet and Africa.
In 2000 he made his comeback with a new band and the album "foen".
The studio album "iwasig" was recorded after the tour and released 2002.
A personal project first, but due to the big success of the first "Trad" CD,
soon "Trad II" followed. Both feature original austrian folk songs.
The latest and biggest project is the "Linz Europe Tour 2007-2009".
Travelling on an adapted cargoship, fully equipped with a stage,
the journey went east first and then will head west.

The song "Da Dasige" by Hubert Von Goisern is a playful and lighthearted tune with a mix of Austrian dialect and German language. The first verse talks about a square meadow in the green forest, with a traditional dress (dirndl) that the singer has never seen before. In the chorus, the singer asks if anyone understands what he is singing; the song may not make sense, but it's still enjoyable. He insists that sometimes people need a song that doesn't make sense. The second verse talks about a stolen dirndl and a woman (dirndl) who runs away from him, while he tries to find her. The song's bridge talks about the frustration of always sulking and not doing anything, while everyone else is having fun. The last verse talks about the singer being stuck indoors while it rains, and he wants to go out, perhaps to dance the Landler or sing and play the harp.
