Route 65
Route 65 plays the sound that echoes from every music bar on the Broadway of Nashville. "Contemporary Country"; modern country music that covers the whole spectrum of emotions: from country rock to soft ballads that melt the hearts of cowboys and cowgirls “all over the world.” The band also takes the liberty to step off well-trodden 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 in the 1980s 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 for 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 has garnered a steadily growing fanbase. A highlight of his career is winning the Prix Walo 2015 in the "Country" category. It is a stroke of luck that Buddy has been playing with the current formation of the Ghostriders since 2006. The special band groove, the joy of playing, and the familial atmosphere among the musicians come across at their concerts... Buddy Dee is celebrating 42 years of Buddy on stagethis year!

Just Two – Pop + Rock - Live Music from Switzerland
Just Two is a Swiss live duo that provides great entertainment at corporate events and public events. The formation consists of guitarist George Kouvatsis and a singer, and captivates 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 any occasion. For larger events, the formation can also be booked as a band with additional musicians.
