The Band
These five ambitious musicians, with a combined total of about 200 years of stage experience in rock, pop, and blues, know how to give country music their own soulful twist. As sound enthusiasts, they deliver a rich, full sound without ever becoming shrill or uncomfortably loud.
The Repertoire
The diverse song repertoire includes traditional and modern catchy tunes, ranging from gentle ballads to rock-style songs. The music is perfect for line dancing and inspires country music lovers to relax and enjoy themselves. All songs are performed in harmony. For smaller gatherings or as background music, the band also performs acoustically. The repertoire includes songs by Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, Gretchen Wilson, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carleen Carter, Billy Ray Cyrus, Eric Clapton, the Eagles, the Little River Band, Sheryl Crow, and others. The list is constantly being updated.
The Concert Variations

- Concert Program Here, guests enjoy 90 minutes of music, divided into two 45-minute sets.
- Full-Evening Program Here you can choose between 3 sets of 45 minutes each or 4 sets of 35 minutes each. The maximum performance time is 140 minutes.
At Home on Every Stage
Whether in intimate bars, pubs, “miner or diner” spots, or at major festivals, this virtuoso band feels right at home on any stage. The audience can feel it, too—that famous spark immediately catches on with the listeners.
Look forward to an unforgettable celebration that you’ll fondly remember for years to come.
