Elke is an experienced Country and Western Artist Up to the age of eighteen, Elke performed with various bands in the " Pop Music " field until 1979. That's when she was discovered by Wolfgang Mewes. Elke joined the group Arabesque, after six months with Arabesque, she came to realize that her heart belonged to Country Music. Big International Trade Fairs and Receptions were the main scene. Being one of the first female country singers in Germany, Elke was invited to perform at the Country Festival in Frankfurt with such notable American Country Stars as Emmylou Harris, Bobby Bare, Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings, The Bellamy Brothers, Dolly and Stella Parton, Rattlesnake Annie and many more. In 1982 she created the band " Louisiana ". During 1986 she emigrated to England and in 1991 she returned to Germany and started performing for American Armed Services. Louisiana is still around, but bigger and better with new talent and a new goal to play the best Country and Western music in town.
Mit 13 gründete er seine erste Band. Sie sollte instrumentale Unterhaltungsmusik spielen. Doch nach wenigen Auftritten wurde den Jungs klar, dass man ohne Gesang nicht sehr weit kommt. Also versuchten sie, trotz Stimmbruchs klare Töne zu treffen (was den Erfolg des Eingangssatzes hatte). Nach ein wenig Übung und vielen Schmerzensgeldforderungen gelang ihnen dies sogar. Kai war schon immer von der Country Music fasziniert – einsame Cowboys, heulende Wölfe, wilde Landschaften. Abenteuerromantik pur. Er brachte immer Country-Titel in das Repertoire der Band ein. Bis er genug von Schlagern und Popmusik hatte, sich das Rhythmusgeschrubbe auf der Gitarre selbst beibrachte und 1998 seine eigene Country-Band gründete. Die „White Wolves Countryband“ feierten im Rhein-Main-Gebiet viele Achtungserfolge. Nach einer kreativen Pause und gewaltigem Fingerjucken stieß Kai 2008 zufällig auf „Louisiana on tour“ und versucht, die Band musikalisch zu unterstützen.
At the age of seventeen he joined his first band. Unfortunately they only played country. But that shouldn’t be a problem. The most important thing was, having fun playing guitar. But who would have thought again? After some time Dirk found out that playing country was a lot more fun, as he first thought. This is how he found his love to country music. Music was now quite a big part of his live, so he decided to do more. He began to study soundtechnics. Now he has got his own recording studio and gives guitarlessons. 1997 he split up with his old band, to create his own band. 1999 After two years of trying out different kind of musicians, and getting married to his wife Elke ( which he wasn’t quite sure about, and who would have thought ) he has finally found the right people to form a new Band.
Casey, the Molsch (as insiders would call him) is the most experienced Member of Band. His instument is the pedal steel guitar, it is just as unique as he is himself.
Evel, alias Volker Benz, discoverd his love for Country Music rather late. At the tender age of 14 he was given an acoustic guitar. So him and his sister tried to play it, with the few chords they had learned. At the age of 16 he had saved up enough money, to buy himself his first E-Guitar. In 1981 him and Mike Sanftenberg formed the, " Mike Sanftenberg Group ". They wrote their own Rock – Jazz - Fashion - Music, in the style of " Larry Carlton " and " Koinonia ". Late summer of 1984: This was when Evel began his Country Career. He joint " Jimmy Carter and The Dallas County Green ".With this Band he played all over the southern and middle part of Germany, Swizerland and France. This Band left him with a big musical impression, he never forgot. In May 2003 he joint " Louisiana - on tour " and is now back, to play Country Music.
