Band Pics (old and new)

We decided to show the bands line-ups in reversed history. When you scroll down this page you will get more and more into he past of the band… until the very beginning in 1989…

THE ESCAPE – current Line-up

In December 2022 Sebastian „Sebi“ Hartstang joined The Escape as second guitarist. This enables Ingo Klemens to focus more on the vocals like he did when the band had four members from 2001 to 2013

When Randy Meinhard left the band to reform his older band „Sacrosanct“ he was replaced on guitar by Andreas „Stonie“ Steinhaus. So the Line-up from 2017 was: Ingo Klemens (voc, guitar, 12-String, piano, programming), Stonie (guitar, backing voc) and Tommes Arensmann (Keys).
