Fool's Garden
When the guitarist Volker Hinkel and the singer Peter
Freudenthaler founded the band Fool’s Garden in 1991, they couldn't
really have figured what a great success their song "Lemon Tree" would have had in 1996. This
megahit conquered the charts all around the world and, even nowadays, it's
always played and sung along everywhere.
In order to continue with this success, the band had a new beginning in 2003.
Peter and Volker went on tour with a new band, a new album and a label of their
own, with big success among old and new fans. And the new live musicians
Gabriel Holz (guitar) Claus Müller (drums) and Dirk Blümlein (bass) became the
new members of Fool's Garden.More
LEMON TREE "Fools and Garden"
Train is an American pop rock band from San Francisco. The band currently consists of a core trio of Pat Monahan (vocals), Jimmy Stafford (guitar), and Scott Underwood (drums).
With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Stafford, Underwood, Rob Hotchkiss, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album, Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit "Meet Virginia." Train's 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)", which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band's best-selling album to date.
Train's third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit "Calling All Angels". Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It's You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt(bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this Train went on a three year hiatus.
In late 2009, Train released the album Save Me, San Francisco, from which album three singles—-the RIAA 6x Platinum-certified international hit "Hey, Soul Sister", "If It's Love" and "Marry Me"—-reached high positions on the Billboard Hot 100 at number three, 34, and 34, respectively. The album itself has been certified gold by both the RIAA and ARIA and has sold 954,000 units.[1] Since 2008, Jerry Becker (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals) and Hector Maldonado (bass, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) have been touring and recording with the group around the world.
In April 2012, Train released their sixth studio album titled California 37. The first single from the album entitled "Drive By" reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was a Top 10 in the UK, their first Top 20 single since 2009.
