With Lionel Lodge's smokey, powerful voice and the high energy of his acoustic guitar playing;
With Rens Newland's stunning, virtiouso electric and acoustic guitar solos and licks;
With Magic Markus Weissenbach pushing and drawing out the groove on the tuba
plus Georg Beck, the groove master himself, kicking it up on drums.

The Rock Quartet lifts the room. Read reviews of the Live CD!

The Rock Quartet was formed out of necessity, we needed a bass player for a already booked
show. The Lionel Train bassist, Berhard Osanna, was not available neither was his stand in.
Markus Weissenbach, the happy tuba player, was already working with Rens in a Dixieland
Jazz band. We thought "Why not, let's try it." Markus was keen to dip his musical prose into
our unique river of rock music and so we were off and puffing.

The first show was such a success with the audience that we were hired on the spot to do more
shows at the same venue. In the few years since that first gig we have played many shows with
Markus. His warmth and humor comes through in his playing and nicely lifts the rock and
American folk grooves of the songs we play.
