About
Cara
Cara is a band
formed in 2003, rooted in Irish and Scottish traditional music, but with
ambitions to create a new and unique sound. Each of the four musicians

in various projects and got together in this line-up to create their own
world of music. CARA members have played with: More Maids, Adaro, DeReelium,
Steampacket, La Marmotte, Deirin Dé — not including many
guest studio and stage appearances.
Gudrun
Walther 
vocals, fiddle, viola, button accordion
Gudrun
was brought up in a musical family with Irish and French folk music and
started to play traditional music on the fiddle at the age of six. Classical
training provided a solid technical basis which made her Germany's probably
youngest professional in traditional music at the age of nineteen. Now
she can look back on many successful engagements, being involved a studio
or guest musician in many recordings and concerts with bands and orchestras.
Gudrun is a member of all-women band More Maids. “Gudrun Walther
could certainly hold her own in any Irish musical setting.“ (Dirty
Linen Magazine, Jan 04)
 Sandra
Steinort
vocals, flutes, piano
Sandra
studied music at the renowned Folkwang College in Germany and is classically
trained on piano and singing. Soon she fell in love with traditional music
and discovered the wooden flute, which now is her main instrument. Her
sweet and mellow soprano voice has developed through the years while she
sang in various a-capella projects and - needless to say - in many a singing
sessions in Ireland.
Jürgen
Treyz
guitars
Jürgen
studied guitar at the MGI in Munich. During that time he also became engaged
with traditional and medival music. In 1993 he founded the artes recording
studio which specialises in acousitic and traditional music. Being involved
in radio plays, theatre plays and TV productions as a guitarrist, composer
and arranger, he has published over 50 albums with his own music and was
repeatedly rewarded with the renowned Prize of the German Record Reviewers.
In 2002, he and his band "Adaro" published the album "minnenspiel",
which was highly praised by the critics and even by Deep-Purple founder
Ritchie Blackmore.
 Claus
Steinort
flutes, uilleann pipes, concertina
Apart from being highly skilled on the Irish flute in technical and stylistic
terms, Claus produces a distinctive tone and an expressive flow which
make his playing truly unique. Having spent much of his time in Ireland,
he has developed and polished a musical style which has absorbed influences
from other instrument players such as pipers and fiddlers. Claus is a
founding member of the bands Dereelium and Steampacket.
Rolf
Wagels
bodhran
Rolf is featured
on the Cara-CD "In Colour" and supports the band on many live
performances. He's well-known in Germany and has a high reputation among
Irish musicians. He's a member of DeReelium and Steampacket.
 Tola
Custy (guest musician)
fiddle
Since early 2006,
Tola Custy, (fiddle player from Ennis, Co. Clare) occasionally supports
us on tour. He will also be featured on our new CD which is due in winter
2006/07. He has become renowned in the Irish music scene for his playing
with singer and bouzouki player Cyril O'Donoghue. He is a founding member
of the celebrated band Calico. Being deeply rooted in the Clare tradition,
he has developed a very distinctive style, sweet - yet powerful!
