The Kogs are John „O“ and Andy Baustein. Both have been involved in and have had a passion for music all their lives. here are our own versions of events as to how The Kogs were formed.

John’s version:
I had wanted to do a „back to the roots“ project for a very long time. The pure sound of a guitar and a singer; as we know it from buskers and camp fires, and yet a little different. I wanted to move it in a different direction. And to do that Andy was a key addition. I knew his style of singing from our time together in a previous band and was convinced he would be perfect. The recent pandemic and restrictions helped me take the final step and set all the „cogs“ in motion. It’s naturally about wanting to be creative, but it’s more too! It’s about friendship, life, our concerns for our planet and what is yet to come…..
