Additional Program

For the brave visitors among you, there's a special attraction: bull riding! Here you can showcase your riding skills and demonstrate that you are a real cowboy or cowgirl. But don't worry, for those who prefer a calmer pace, there are plenty of other activities on offer.

Route 65

Route 65 plays the sound that resonates in every music bar on the Broadway of Nashville. "Contemporary Country"; Modern Country Music that covers the whole range of emotions: from country rock to soft ballads that melt the hearts of cowboys and cowgirls "all over the world". The band often permits itself to leave worn paths and explore stylistic boundaries.

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

Buddy Dee & the Ghostriders

Buddy started as a street musician in the 1980s and quickly evolved 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 has taken him from small clubs to large festivals across Europe, the Mediterranean, and even Africa, where he gained a steadily growing fanbase. 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 familial atmosphere among the musicians come across at the concerts... Buddy Dee celebrates this year 40 years Buddy on stage!
