Her musical talents run the gamut from melodious ballads to groovy rock. She traces her roots to the American singer-songwriter tradition.
meike koester''s powerful and expressive voice and her command of the acoustic guitar fuse together in solo songs that go straight to the heart. With her band - bass, keyboard, guitar, accordion and drums - she has thrilled critics and audiences with her dynamic performances.
In addition to her own solo concerts, meike koester has performed as a warm-up act with Mark Eitzel, Marc Cohn, Alannah Myles, Dakota Moon, Toto and Fury in the Slaughterhouse. With her band, she has played at festivals with Jazzkantine, Nina Hagen and Nena.

In June 2000 she performed as one of 21 participants (from LA, Chicago, N.Y., Boston, etc.) in the singer-songwriter contest at Eddie''s Attic in Decatur/Atlanta, Georgia. This is the acoustic club where musicians like Ani DiFranco and the Indigo Girls got their start; meike koester was awarded Second Prize.
She has played in Savannah and Macon, Georgia and has performed with such underground legends as Kodac Harrison and Caroline Aiken. In April 2002 meike played the "Atlanta Dogwood Festival" and shared the stage with Kate Campbell, Shawn Mullins and lots of other great local and national musicians.
