THIS IS A FAN SITE! All of the info below and more can be found at their official website: www.foolsgarden.deWhen the guitarist Volker Hinkel and the singer Peter Freudenthaler founded the band "Fools 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. All that allowed the band to reach a good fame and 3 "Fool's Garden" albums (6 singles) to climb the German Media Control Charts. In order to continue with this success, the band had a new beginning in 2003. Peter and Volker went in 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. A powerful sound and a huge joy provided a music, which was able to thrill their audience everywhere. During their tour in Lithuania 8700 people filled up the sold out hall in Vilnius and, even if the new album "25 Miles To Kissimmee" hadn't been released yet, everybody was able to sing along without esitation every word of "Dreaming". The album was released on November 17th 2003, followed by a new single version of "Dreaming". More successful concerts followed in summer 2004, when the band played in Spain and in Russia. Fool's Garden delighted Russian fans in the famous Gorky Park, in the legendary Club 16 Tons in Moscow, and in St. Petersburg. Moreover Peter and Volker played as support at the Pur-Klassik Konzerte in Schalke in front of 70000 people, who sang along with them and applaused their performance with enthusiasm. In spite of all Fool's Garden remains the nice band that you can "touch" and Peter Freudenthaler and Volker Hinkel present their hits also as unplugged duo.
