The Sieker Band is a 4-piece contemporary bluegrass band working out of Austin, TX and available for all kinds of events. The repertoire consists of Texas singer/songwriter material and original numbers. We can bring our own pa-system.
Love the band. Have them for a backyard party and many people listen some people chatted other places in the yard but it was just so festive having them here.
Very enjoyable outdoor concert. Great music for 2 hours straight! Good variety of song selections and entertaining narrative.
This band is so talented!! I've used the Seiker's on several occasions to entertain residents at two different assisted living facilities here in Round Rock. The residents absolutely love their talent and just as importantly, their personalities and professionalism! 5 stars all the way across the board!
The Sieker Band came early before the party official time. They were very accommodating and worked with us well. They were set-up well before the party time. Their warm-up time was entertaining to our audience extending the entire entertainment time. They were very professional and played very well. Our attendees loved their sound and requested cd's and business cards. I highly recommend this group. Thank you!
We hired the Seiker Band to play at a private party, a bbq out on Lake Travis. They were easy going and communicative before the gig, they arrived early, and their music was terrific. Everyone at the party loved the bluegrass and the live music made all the difference. Would definitely hire them again.

International artists Rolf & Beate Sieker created their own style of Bluegrass/Country Music. Critics call it spectacular and exciting - a vibrant collection of contemporary bluegrass. Joining Rolf & Beate are some of the finest musicians in Texas.
Rolf & Beate Sieker started their professional music career in Berlin, Germany. They played many concerts in Germany, toured throughout the European countries, appeared on tv- and radio shows and recorded five albums, two in Nashville and three in Berlin. In 1997 they moved to Nashville, TN and since the year 2000 they live near Austin, TX, live music capital of the world. Also in 1997 they received the keys to the city of Bryan/College Station, TX and in 2008 were inducted into the Gatesville Country Music Hall of Fame.
Rolf Sieker was one of the first 5-string banjo players in Europe. In 1975 he recorded the very first bluegrass album in Germany. In Europe Rolf played with Bill Monroe, Byron Berline, Dan Crary, Mark O'Connor, Dave Dudley, Bill Clifton and many more. Now living in the US he won the Texas State Banjo Championship in 2001. He recorded studio sessions with Ray Benson & Asleep At The Wheel, Kelly Willis, Bill & Bonnie Hearne, Dale Watson, Red Volkaert, Trace Atkins, Rod Moag, Julie Chadbourne, Lantana, Bruce Robison, The Carper Family, Malford Milligan and many others. Rolf also played with Bob Schneider's Texas Bluegrass Massacre which was named 'Best Performing Bluegrass Band' at the 2008 and 2009 Austin Music Awards. His way of playing the banjo is highly influenced by the blues-melodic style of Bobby Thompson, one of the most requested studio musicians in the 60s, 70s and 80s in Nashville. The two were close friends and Rolf received Bobby's banjo in 1996. Rolf is a creative songwriter. For The Siekers he wrote a lot of original material.
Beate Sieker plays acoustic guitar and occasionally upright bass. Her vocals have become the trademark of The Sieker Band, generating a lot of fans. Influenced by Texas singer/songwriters her repertoire consists of songs written by Bill & Bonnie Hearne, Steven Fromholtz, Willie Nelson, Steve Gillette, Karla Bonhoff, Ian Tyson, Townes Van Zandt, Bill Monroe and many others. Beate is one of the finest rhythm guitar players around. In 1999 she received Bobby Thompson's guitar that he used at all the Nashville studio sessions.
