In 2020 Bottomless Coffee Band celebrated ten years of growth

and evolvement in the industry, remaining true to their vision of

creating a full band from their treasure chest of instruments, just

being a duo. Their vision has for a long-time brought beauty,

passion, and inspiration to those around them through music. This

has been evident in the reactions from captivated audiences all

over Africa and Europe; regarded as one of South Africas most

unique and exciting live music experiences.

Esté and Lourens met in the University choir as young students at

the University of Stellenbosch. Their interest in coffee and blues

grew quickly and today this happily married couple is filled with

joy as they pursue their dream as full-time musicians together,

from their beautiful home in the heart of the small Boland town,

Paarl.

During 2020 Esté and Lourens used the gift of time as inspiration

to match their soundwaves with the heart of the confusion, loss,

healing, freedom, and all other aspects humanity had to deal with

during this unprecedented time.

What started as a lighthearted folk-rock sound has developed

into the alternative folk-pop direction, evident in their 2018

album, Anthelia. Having Afrikaans as their mother tongue, this

duo is quickly growing their Afrikaans oeuvre of eye-catching

and soul touching music in the alternative folk-pop genre in

Afrikaans. With the release of PREDIKER Hoofstuk Een in

2020, this new leg of Bottomless Coffee Band’s adventure

will become ever so prominent. They believe if a song does

not write itself it will not be written, making their style honest

and diverse, giving every song its own wings.

This creative duo is constantly looking for new sounds to

include in their oeuvre, resulting in 12 instruments currently

being played by the two of them. They grace the stage with

an impressive display of music-making gadgets, making the

audience stand in awe of the full band this band produces.

Their instruments include, but will never be limited to, the

Farmer foot drums, acoustic and electric guitar, banjo,

acoustic and electric bass, U-Bass, accordion, ukulele,

harmonica, glockenspiel, melodica, and various percussion

instruments. They don’t just entertain with their constantly

changing instruments but also sing their beautiful songs in

such a way that it would be just as enchanting if there were no instruments at all.
