HTGistory
1994:
The band started as a trio in 1994 with Olaf Rosenfeld (Guitars & Vocals), Frank Gawehns (Bass & Vocals) and Stefan Geisteier (Drums & Vocals) out of the band “Just For Fun“ from Ratzeburg and was supposed to be just a kind of project. However, gigs at smaller events had more resonance than expected.
The flexibility of “unplugged performance“ permitted the band to play on the smallest stages without loosing any of its enthusiasm. The trio proved its steadiness in numerous gigs in Mecklenburg and around Ratzeburg.

1998:
The band expanded to a quartet with Ralf „CCH“ Kiesler (Keyboards, Guitars & Vocals). In this cast HTG got a reputation as “PIKASSO house band“ and with great success took part in the “Woodstock Revival“ in 1999 in Ratzeburg as guests of Scott Williams & Michael Jessen.

2000:
Stefan Geisteier left the band due to family reasons. Therefore Renè Lenz took over the Drums as a regular member. One definite highlight has been the annual open air festival in Tangstedt.

2002:
The musical spectrum of the band had grown into a quintet in 2002 with Sascha Benke (Guitars & Vocals).

2007:
Everybody is still on board and the band is keep on playing the musical range between Blues, Southern & Country Rock.
