Bottomless Coffee Band

bottomlesscoffee

This is the story of the Bottomless Coffee Band – married multi-instrumentalist folk-rock duo from Cape Town; making songs about life, love, blues and breakfast!
Lourens and Esté Rabé produce a unique sound. Their performance is electric and reminds of the good old days when Johnny Cash and June Carter filled theatres with folk music – entertaining and unique.

Biography:

We met as two ambitious young students at the University of Stellenbosch, singing in the choir. After a few cups of coffee we soon realised that we shared much more than our common interest in blues music. Today we are happily married, working as full-time musicians, pursuing our dream to inspire others through music.

We have a great love for instruments; we are constantly on the look-out for interesting sounds to include. Currently we play 12 instruments between the two of us, gracing the stage with an impressive display of music-making gadgets, and allowing the sound of a full band. Our instruments include the Farmer foot drums, acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, acoustic bass, U-Bass (aka basselele), accordion, ukulele, harmonica, glockenspiel, melodica and various percussion instruments. We also sing, whilst playing the mentioned instruments.

Some highlights thus far include:
