THE SEE SEE RIDERS - AT A GLANCE
The See See Riders are a young quartet dedicated to blues, roots, and stringband music.
They aim to create a contemporary acoustic sound that highlights modern arrangements of forgotten songs,
along with their own compositions. Their songs capture both the good and the bad times, featuring humorous pieces with double meanings,
all told with a wink. This diversity is drawn from early rural and urban blues,
as well as lively ragtime and swing tunes. With resonator guitars, violin, and double bass,
they present a unique stringband lineup rarely seen on stage today.
Armano Persau
Instrument: Guitar, Lead Vocals
Armano is not only the lead singer, but also an important part of the rhythm section. He makes The See See Riders danceable and dynamically adapts the rhythm to the concert atmosphere. He is also a creative songwriter and enriches the band with his own songs.
Rebekka Wagner
Instrument: violin, vocals
If you're wondering where the beautiful melodies come from, then Bekki is certainly the right place to start your search. She gives the sound a folky, virtuoso character and enriches almost every song with her backing vocals.
Stephan Goldbach
Instrument: double bass, vocals
With Steph we have not only found a real groove machine, but also a double bass virtuoso. Together with Armano he forms the rhythm section and sometimes even plays with Bekki as a string duo. What else can we say? His solos have been described as "world class" by the specialist press. He also always wears the most beautiful peaked caps.
Benjamin Lojak
Instrument: Resonator guitar, slide guitar, vocals
If it sounds like Bikini Bottom, then Benjamin is certainly involved, with his fingers or slide guitar. He contributes another tonal color that perfectly complements the See See Riders' arrangements. In addition to his slide playing, he also enriches the band with lively ragtime fingerpicking.
