Die Cowboys - DER WILDE, WILDE WESTEN live auf Achse

DIE COWBOYS® - DER WILDE, WILDE WESTEN live auf Achse.

Die Cowboys consist of former band members and a founding member of the most successful German country band of all time - TRUCK STOP.

Today - five decades later - these are the very musicians who, as defining figures of that era, shaped the sound, and who are now taking the stage together once again. Under the name DIE COWBOYS, they stand on stage anew. The lineup includes: Rainer Bach and Uwe Lost, Dirk Schlag, Chris Kaufmann and Florian Lost - all singers and musicians who made country music great in Germany.

Rainer Bach, a founding member of Truck Stop, was not only responsible for composing many major hits such as "Ich möchte so gern Dave Dudley hören", "Der Wilde Wilde Westen" and "Old Texas Town, die Westernstadt", but also shaped them with his lead vocals.

Uwe Lost spent 45 years with Truck Stop and created "Große Haie, kleine Fische" - a Hamburg cult classic that has been the theme song of the successful ARD series "Großstadtrevier" for over 30 years.

Dirk Schlag joined Truck Stop in 2003 as the new guitarist when founding member Erich Doll had to step down for health reasons. Dirk Schlag remained until 2013 and then moved to "Santiano", with whom he now fills arenas. In 2015, Chris Kaufman joined Truck Stop, developing the band's guitar sound with fresh, contemporary guitar riffs.

Chris Kaufman plays today, like Dirk Schlag, in the upper echelon of the music scene, including with Andreas Gabalier on stadium tours, for example at the Olympic Stadium in Munich. He is also successful as a duo with Wild As Her on the European country music scene.

The Cowboys have brought in additional reinforcement:

Bo Heart is a Hamburg-based keyboardist, singer and composer. In addition to releasing his own recordings, he has worked with artists such as Xavier Naidoo, Edo Zanki and Klaus Lage.
