Reunion:

Last year, in August, 2004, Liz played a special tour in Germany with a very versatile group from Berlin called the Hot String Quintet.  Everyone had a great time and nearly all the concerts were sold out.  This year we have a little reunion for these 2 concerts in southern Germany, where Liz will be backed by 4 members of the Hot String Quintet – so for this tour, they will be the “Hot String Quartet.”  

Because the concerts are in Germany and we have a little info in the right language, there is a short piece included below about the band in German.

 

BANDMEMBERS:

MARKUS RAATZ                Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, Mouth Harp

ANDREAS DAVID               Banjo, Dobro, Mandolin, Ukelele, Guitar, Vocals

FRIEDRICH BARNISKE    Guitar, Vocals
