Rainer Bach (* December 14, 1947 in Bielefeld) is a German country singer and pedal steel guitarist. He was a founding member of the group Truck Stop, released solo albums, and worked as a dentist.

Musical Career

Rainer Bach began playing the piano at the age of seven. In April 1963, he discovered the Beatles and started learning to play the guitar, initially on an acoustic guitar. During his school years, he founded a beat band called The Misfits, which performed in front of audiences of up to 1000 people. After graduating from high school, the band broke up. Following his schooling, Bach joined the German Navy and served, among other places, on the Gorch Fock, whose choir he conducted in 1968. In 1971, he began studying dentistry in Hamburg.

In the autumn of 1972, he founded the band Truck Stop together with Günter “Cisco” Berndt, Burkhard “Lucius” Reichling, Erich Doll, Wolfgang “Teddy” Ibing, and Eckart Hofmann. He remained with the band for about ten years, singing and playing pedal steel guitar. He composed numerous hits, including their first chart success, “Ich möcht’ so gern Dave Dudley hör’n” (I’d really like to hear Dave Dudley), and the hit “Der wilde wilde Westen” (The Wild, Wild West) together with Erich Doll. In December 1983, he left the group because he was working as a dentist and needed more time for his patients. In addition to his work with Truck Stop, he also contributed as a steel guitarist to albums by Volker Lechtenbrink, Reinhard Mey, and Peter, Sue & Marc.

After Truck Stop

He opened his dental practice in Seevetal in 1982 and ran it until 2013. During this time, he composed music for other artists, among other things. He also wrote meditation music for a friend at the German Red Cross (DRK) health resort in Carolinensiel and composed the charity CD “I’d Really Like to Go to the Children’s Home” for their children’s center, the title track of which was based on the melody of “I’d Really Like to Hear Dave Dudley.”[2]

In 1992, he released his first solo album, “Auf meine Art” (My Way), through Dino Music; in 2014, his album “Ich bin nicht mehr der Alte” (I’m Not the Same Man Anymore) was released by DTM Musik. In addition to his solo albums, he is a member of the all-star country band Third Coast, which also included Nils Tuxen, Werner Becker, and Uwe Lost, among others.[3]

At the end of 2019, he participated in the second season of The Voice Senior and was eliminated in the sing-offs. His coach was Michael Patrick Kelly.

Tobias Riether

Category : ComposerDocs , EventDocs , SingerDocs

Tobee (* June 24, 1985 in Geislingen an der Steige; real name Tobias Riether[3]) is a German party pop singer, concert promoter, and dentist.

In his youth, Tobias Riether learned to play several instruments and took singing lessons. At 15, he founded a rock cover band, and at 18, he won a talent competition in party music and became the lead singer of a show band from Baden-Württemberg.

He achieved his first success in 2006 with his self-written song “Die Ina.” He found producers at Xtreme Sound in Cologne, who included the song on numerous party compilation albums. The following year, he had a hit with “Banane, Zitrone,” which landed on the Ballermann Hits compilation and led to him becoming a regular performer at the Bierkönig in Mallorca. Further hits followed, including remakes of “Lotusblume,” originally by The Flippers, “Westerland” by Die Ärzte, and “Eine weiße Rose” by the Kastelruther Spatzen.

In 2008, major label EMI signed Tobee and produced the song ’72, ’80, ’96, 2008 for the European Football Championship, which, at least in its title, was reminiscent of the hit ’54, ’74, ’90, 2006 by Sportfreunde Stiller for the Football World Cup two years earlier. This gave Riether his first chart hit, reaching number 70 in the German singles charts. Tobee has since become an established entertainer at both summer and winter parties.

In the summer of 2009, the singer had his second chart success together with Chris Andrews. Andrews’ 1969 hit “Pretty Belinda” was given a German chorus and an added element of a sinking inflatable boat, transforming it into a summer party hit.

In the summer of 2014, his single “Blau wie das Meer” (Blue like the Sea) was released, and since its release, he has had to deal with accusations of plagiarism. The single bears strong similarities to the song of the same name by the group Mr. Hurley & die Pulveraffen.

His song “Helikopter 117 (Mach’ den Hub Hub Hub),” released in December 2017, which entered the German single charts on March 8, 2019, received a gold record in October 2020 for 200,000 units sold and a platinum record in July 2023. It is a cover of the song “Medicopter Mainz17” (based on the television series Medicopter 117 – Every Life Counts), which became popular at the 2017 Medimeisterschaften (a medical student festival) and held the number one spot on the German Spotify Viral Charts for an extended period that year.[5][6][7]

In addition to his career as a singer, Tobee runs his own label, “Brainstall,” and is active as a producer for other artists, such as DJ Düse, Vroni, Daaan, and Danito Lopez.

Kwame Boaten

Tags :

Category : ComposerDocs , OperaDocs , PianoDocs , SingerDocs , theatreDocs

Kwame is something quite unusual, a collaboration between an African trumpeter and metal musician (Kwame Boaten) and a Swedish guitarist who has previously devoted himself primarily to classical music (Carl Ljungström). They met a few years ago in a music student dormitory in London. This would be the beginning of “Volatile.”

On the album cover, I see a blurry image of a dark-haired guy with dreadlocks. Yes, I think it’s another Swedish hip-hop artist hanging out with Ken and the guys. Oh, what a mistake I made. Ghanaian-born Kwame Boaten has brought new light into the pop fog with his calm, captivating music. After a few years, he found Calle Ljungström, a former metal musician, at music school in London. The two began a slow and cautious collaboration, and now we hear the final result. It quickly becomes clear: when you bring two musicians with such different backgrounds into a studio, it works really well.

The album Volatile is difficult to describe precisely, as it differs so markedly from other productions in this genre. Calle Ljungström is responsible for the beautiful strings and guitars, and Kwame for his wonderfully beautiful, bright voice. Also in the studio are names like Magnus Frykberg, Pontus Olsson, and Lars Halapi, who have also never performed in similar contexts before. An exciting collaboration that I’d like to learn more about. If it’s long enough for another album.

The danger of rehashing unbearable, sleazy music is in the air when a classical guitarist of Ljungström’s caliber is about to release an album. But to be blunt, that’s not a good way to get off. The sound is a bit too clean and suitable for a living room at times, but it also avoids unnecessary gimmicks.

Furthermore, this could probably be described as music for adults, and some songs have an almost baroque touch at times, but it never becomes intrusive. Ljungström, on the other hand, provides striking tones with his six nylon strings, which, together with Boaten’s tasteful voice, create cool, slightly melancholic songs of the quiet variety. One danger of this restrained music is that certain elements tend to become repetitive. This is partly the case here, as the same mood runs through almost the entire album. And it’s nice, isn’t it, but a little more variety wouldn’t have hurt.

The vocals are at times Jeff Buckley-esque and at least as intense and captivating. The fact that the strings also play a fairly large role makes the whole thing even more exquisite, and it’s impossible not to curl up and enjoy it—as is usually the case.

1993 he has worked at the theatre of Kiel / Germany.

Richard Bauer

Category : ComedyDocs , ComposerDocs , PianoDocs , SingerDocs

Seine erste Liebe, sagt der heute (2025) 72-Jährige, war jedoch immer die Musik. Und das begann schon im Kindesalter. Wenn seine älteren Schwestern Klavierunterricht hatten, dann hörte er zu und spielte die Melodien später selbst nach – ohne Noten, nur nach Gehör. Aber auch an der Gitarre war Richard Bauer talentiert: Schon 1972 hatte er einen Auftritt in der Saarlandhalle in Saarbrücken, mit der damals in der Region bekannten Band „Studio 64“.

Hauptberuflich ging es dann zwar mit der medizinischen Karriere weiter, aber daneben blieb die Kultur für Richard Bauer immer eine „Parallelwelt“, in die er sich gerne zurückzog. Nicht nur musikalisch, auch kabarettistisch war er aktiv, mit Programmen wie „Strapsodie in Bluff“. Jetzt, nachdem er seine Laufbahn als Arzt beendet hat, kann er sich ganz der Musik widmen.

Für sein aktuelles Projekt hat Richard Bauer den Arztkittel gegen den Bademantel eingetauscht, das Markenzeichen von Udo Jürgens. Am 11. November 2014 besuchte er eines der letzten Konzerte des österreichischen Sängers.

„Sechs Wochen später die Todesnachricht von Udo, den ich zuvor noch zu präsent auf der Bühne erlebte. Der Wunsch, seine großen Lieder live mit meiner 2012 gegründeten BAUERS BRASS BAND in Szene zu setzen, wurde immer stärker gefühlvoll und authentisch interpretieren Udo, ich bin Deiner Meinung: „Die Welt braucht Lieder.“

Mit der im Jahr 2012 gegründeten Bauers Brass Band machte er sich daran, den Titel für sein neunköpfiges Ensemble zu bearbeiten. 2019 war es dann so weit: Zum fünften Todestag von Udo Jürgens erblickte das Programm „Hallo Udo“ in der Saarburger Stadthalle das Licht der Welt. „Der Saal war zum Brechen voll“, erinnert sich Richard Bauer. Alle Konzerte ausverkauft. „Wir hätten doppelt so viele Karten verkaufen können.“ In Richard Bauers Band spielt an der Querflöte auch seine Tochter Katharina. Mit ihr singt er natürlich auch das Duett „Liebe ohne Leiden“, das schon Udo Jürgens mit seiner Tochter sang.

Their late-night performances in front of a maximum of 150 guests feature irony, chansons, and also Lieder and Schubert evenings with classical music.

Although neither Spahn nor Richter come from families of musicians or doctors, they pursued a dual career from an early age.

Recorder, piano, and violin, and before graduating from high school, they also received a scholarship to the Würzburg Conservatory of Music with her, joined the boys’ choir (Hymnus Chorknaben Stuttgart) from eight until his high school graduation, and simultaneously took singing lessons for him as a community service paramedic.

We are Deborah and Peter Menger, and we met in a choir in 1995. It’s only fitting that we’ve been making music together for many years. We perform in choirs, bands, other vocal ensembles, and as a duo in Germany and internationally. For the past 12 years, we’ve enjoyed making music together, especially with our four children.

Since 2016, we have been leading the Hüttenberg Children’s Choir together with a great team and a fantastic manager. Around 120 children meet there weekly to sing our children’s songs together and prepare for upcoming musicals and concerts. (Choir rehearsals are on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. at the Evangelical Free Congregation in Hüttenberg-Hochelheim. During the coronavirus pandemic, we meet at a safe distance on the sports field behind the parish hall. Due to limited space, we ask that you register for events on the EFG website.)

In addition, we are involved in church services and events in the surrounding communities and in the work of the association sdg (soli deo gloria) e.V.
