The idea for an entertainment band was created in 1976 at a club evening of the sports club of Uetendorf . The Calimeros were then founded by Roland Eberhart, Kurt Wyss († June 2013) and three other colleagues. At first they only played at festivals and celebrations, but in a few years they had become so established that in 1983 they recorded their first album Sommerwind . With the song written by Eberhart you are like the stars so beautiful it contained her most famous piece to date. In 2008, it was nominated in the TV program The Greatest Swiss Hits in the category Home & Wanderlust .

The first album has already achieved platinum and over the years published over 20 albums with five golden and four platinum records for more than 700,000 records sold  were excellent. They are thus considered the most successful hit group in Switzerland.

Already after the first success there were numerous television appearances and in 1992 to the 15-year anniversary its own show on Swiss television. Four years later they were signed by Koch Media and since then they are also represented in Germany and Austria. At the end of 1999, two members left the band, so that the Calimeros are now only a trio. In the 2000s, the band was represented five times in the preliminary round of the Grand Prix of folk music and appeared in international TV programs such as the Musikantenstadl and Achim hit parade .

The head of the band, Roland Eberhart, released a solo album in 2004 titled I tröime vo to you with songs in Bernese German .  He composes not only almost all the pieces of his own band, but also writes for other artists such as The Amigos and Combox .  In Radio Eviva he has his own radio show.

The album Sommersehnsucht , released in July 2015, is the most successful album in Switzerland. It reached number 1 and also defended this place in the second week.  In Germany and Austria it reached each 5th place, but was unable to repeat the success in Switzerland. In Austria it flew after only one week from the charts, in Germany, it slipped in the 2nd week in 71th place.

In July 2016, the next album Schiff Ahoi was released . It again reached number 1 on the Swiss charts. For the first time, the Calimeros managed to achieve second place in Germany and the top spot in Austria.
