BossHoss is a band from Berlin which started in 2004 with Country & Western style cover versions of famous pop, rock and hip hop songs, for example "Hot in Herre" by Nelly, "Toxic" by Britney Spears and "Hey Ya!" by Outkast. They incorporate stereotypical American cowboy behavior into their act. They wear stetson hats, tank tops, large sunglasses, display whiskey bottles, and yell heehaw. The band refers to their music style as "Country Trash Punk Rock."

Walter Trout
More on Walter Trout

Over the years Walter Trout has played with some of the giants of blues such as John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, John Mayall and Canned Heat. His between the eyes direct approach and passion for the blues puts Trout firmly in the premier league of blues guitar greats. With an outstanding technique, this imposing big American is not the shy, retiring type, but likes to get up there, go eyeball to eyeball with the fans and deliver the blues to the spot that matters. His ability to burn up and down the guitar neck made him a sought after sideman for John Lee Hooker, which eventually launched a solo career after cutting his teeth in the same way that Eric Clapton and Peter Green did, by playing in John Mayall’s band

More on Ezio

Remember the last time a song really reached you? Straight in, deep inside, talking directly to you, about what you feel - just as if this song was written especially for you, about you?
Well - this is what the music of EZIO is about - deep, honest, emotional songs that hit a raw nerve.
EZIO always has two sides:
It’s two lead guitarists in one band, Ezio Lunedei and Mark "Booga" Fowell who together form a perfect unit.
And it’s two different kinds of music - at home it’s the perfect studio recordings, on stage it’s breathtaking live performances to which you will get addicted after the first gig you’ve been to.
