Nashville German Band

For over 40 Years, this Nashville German Band has been a household name. What started as a casual get-together of three musicians in late 1962, grew to a four-piece band by 1963 and eventually evolved into a group of five musicians by 1985.

Throughout the years, the group has never had a leader, even though at times it seems as there might be as many as five. Everyone shares in the responsibilities and privileges, a unique set-up that has proven very successful.

One might ask about the secret of such an endurance? Quite simple-they all love music! But what's more, they like to have fun and Gemuetlichkeit with their followers!

They have also entertained patrons of several casinos such as in Manistee MI, Tupelo MS and Ceasars in Indiana!

Holding up German tradition, this Nashville German Band wears Lederhosen, short leather pants held up by bright suspenders. These costumes along with their up-beat tempo contribute to getting the crowd involves, both old and young!

Over the years the band has released albums and tapes of their music, with their biggest hit in 1982, the Duck Dance, a happy tune to dance to.
