Stringband-Blues with Southern charm: The See See Riders live in Bamberg
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, The See See Riders will bring their distinctive mix of blues, roots music, early swing, and stringband sound to the Jazzkeller Bamberg. The concert begins at 8:00 PM and combines historical tonal colors with modern arrangements and original compositions.
Acoustic sound between blues, ragtime, and swing
Resonator guitars, slide guitar, violin, and double bass shape the unmistakable sound of the Bamberg quartet. The See See Riders revive forgotten songs from the Southern United States of the 1920s and 1930s, reinterpret them, and add their own musical accents.
A lively stage performance emerges from early rural and urban blues, ragtime, and swing, characterized by distinctive rhythmic work, virtuosic string lines, and multi-part vocals. The arrangements remain close to the acoustic core while gaining dynamism, humor, and contemporary orchestration.
A band with international momentum
The See See Riders celebrated victory at the German Blues Challenge in 2024. In 2025, the quartet reached the finals of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and secured third place at the European Blues Challenge in Split. Appearances at festivals in Germany and Europe have made their characteristic stringband blues known beyond Bamberg.
The repertoire includes reinterpretations of blues classics as well as original pieces. The current album Having Fun With The See See Riders combines vintage influences with modern ideas and has been nominated in two categories for the German Record Critics' Award: Blues as well as Folk and Singer/Songwriter.
Live atmosphere in the Jazzkeller Bamberg
The Jazzkeller at Obere Sandstraße 18 provides the perfect setting for a concert where every note, every slide detail, and every bass line becomes immediately palpable. The intimate club atmosphere creates closeness between the stage and the audience and makes the band's acoustic sound particularly direct.
Under the motto Local Jazz, the Jazzclub Bamberg presents The See See Riders as representatives of a modern blues and roots sound. The audience's mood meets precise synchronization, warm string tones, and a stage energy that shifts between grooving swing and raw delta blues.
Conclusion: A concert experience for blues and roots fans
The See See Riders demonstrate how fresh historical blues and stringband music can sound today. Those who love acoustic instruments, virtuosic interplay, and an authentic live atmosphere will experience a special concert evening at the Jazzkeller Bamberg. Tickets are available at the regular price of 22 euros and discounted for 12 euros.
