From 1974 onwards, together with Thomas Friz, Schmeckenbecher became known as the successful folk and folk song duo Zupfgeigenhansel .

After Zupfgeigenhansel was dissolved in 1985, Schmeckenbecher u. a. as a studio musician and producer. The idea of combining folk music and rock music led to the founding of the short-lived band project Erich und das Polk in 1992 .

After the separation from Erich and the Polk , Schmeckenbecher worked as a solo artist and released his own CD in 2001 under the title Schmeckenbecher . In the same year he was the founder of the Association for Humanity and Tolerance eV (MUT) , whose first chairman he also became.

Hannes Wader , Konstantin Wecker and Klaus Lage , was committed in the Theaterhaus Stuttgart. The four-hour concert recording was later released as a 4-CD set. In 2007 he released his CD Schmeckenbecher 2007, which was based on “Heimat” and “Romantik” .

In addition to his own songs, Schmeckenbecher as a composer mainly set poems from classics such as Heine , Goethe , Schiller , Eichendorff , Novalis , Fritz Graßhoff and Theodor Kramer (including Andre, who did not love the country so much ). His folk song text settings ( A proud ship , don't ask anyone to hear my fate, etc.) are folk standards today and, like many of his settings, can be found in numerous song books.
