🎙️ It's with a heavy heart I announce the end of The Lou Baxter Project. Life's calling me back to the USA and it's time to say goodbye to the incredible journey in Germany. 🛣️

🎸 We rocked the retro, we grooved the modern, and every song was a page from my life's book. To Torsten, Oliver Wengeler, Peter Albert – my musical soulmates – thank you for making this odyssey unforgettable. And to our fans, your cheers will echo in my heart forever. 🥁🎹

🌠 But remember, every ending is a new beginning. Keep our music loud and the spirit alive! Start it up, let that engine growl, and never stop driving to the beat of your dreams. 🚀🎶

�XOXO�Lou
