Die Cowboys - DER WILDE, WILDE WESTEN live auf Achse

Die Cowboys are made up of former members and a founding member of TRUCK STOP - the most successful German country band of all time. On stage are Rainer Bach, Uwe Lost, Dirk Schlag, Chris Kaufmann, Florian Lost and Bo Heart.

Rainer Bach, founding member of Truck Stop, wrote and sang hits like "Ich möchte so gern Dave Dudley hören", "Der Wilde Wilde Westen" and "Old Texas Town, die Westernstadt". Uwe Lost spent 45 years with Truck Stop and created the title song "Große Haie, kleine Fische" for the ARD series "Großstadtrevier", which has been running for over 30 years. Dirk Schlag joined Truck Stop in 2003 as a guitarist, stayed until 2013 and today plays with Santiano among others. Chris Kaufmann came on board in 2015, developed the band's guitar sound further and today tours stadiums with Andreas Gabalier and performs as a duo with Wild As Her in the European country scene. Bo Heart, Hamburg-based keyboardist, singer and composer, worked with Xavier Naidoo, Edo Zanki and Klaus Lage, and was active for many years with Dirk Schlag and Florian and Uwe Lost in LostGang. Florian Lost, son of Uwe Lost, completes the band on drums.

The Cowboys bring with them the great hits of their original band - "Der wilde Westen", "Ich möcht' so gern Dave Dudley hör'n", "Großstadtrevier", "Old Texas Town, die Westernstadt" and more - plus new pieces like "50 bunte Jahre" and country classics they themselves shaped, including songs by The Eagles and country hits from the late 60s like "Marylou - Goodbye Heart" or "Hello Josephine".

The impetus came in December 2024 from Uwe Lost: after the first announcement on social media, the concert at Studio Maschen sold out within an hour, with two more evenings following. Rainer Bach on the premiere: "It was as if time had stood still."
