Route 65

Route 65 plays the sound that resonates in every music bar from the Broadway of Nashville. "Contemporary Country"; modern country music that covers the entire range of emotions: from country rock to soft ballads that make the hearts of cowboys and cowgirls "all over the world" melt. The band permits itself to step off the beaten path and explore stylistic boundaries.

Since 2013, Route 65 has been on the "Road to Country Music". Three lead voices, brilliant harmony vocals, and virtuoso soloists - that's Route 65!

Buddy Dee & the Ghostriders

Buddy started in the 80s as a street musician and quickly developed into a talented singer and guitarist. With his band "Buddy Dee & the Ghostriders", he revolutionized the Swiss country scene and gained international recognition with their albums, especially through productions in Nashville. His career took him from small clubs to large festivals across Europe, the Mediterranean, and even Africa, where he gained a steadily growing fan base. A highlight of his career is winning the Prix Walo 2015 in the "Country" category. The fact that Buddy has been playing with the current formation of the Ghostriders since 2006 is a stroke of luck. The special band groove, the joy of playing, and the family atmosphere among the musicians also come across at the concerts... Buddy Dee celebrates this year 42 years Buddy on stage!

Just Two – Pop + Rock - Live Music from Switzerland

Just Two is a Swiss live duo that provides top entertainment at corporate events and public occasions. The formation consists of guitarist George Kouvatsis and a singer, and it delights with a versatile repertoire of rock, pop, blues, and well-known classics. With years of stage experience, professional performance, and a lot of passion, Just Two creates the perfect musical atmosphere for every occasion. For larger events, the formation can also be booked as a band with additional musicians.
