German born Sieker has been touring Europe and the United States playing a style of bluegrass that is at once authentic and original.  He recorded studio sessions with Ray Benson & Asleep At The Wheel, Kelly Willis, Dale Watson, Redd Volkaert, Trace Atkins, Rod Moag, Julie Chadbourne, Lantana and many others. 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.  We can't wait to have him share his talents  and help develop yours in this Lone Star Master Class!
