Die Donau Piraten
Celebrating 20 Years at Oktoberfest Miami®
Christian, Gregor, and Ruth Eder form the core of the Donau Piraten — a talented family band known for their authentic Bavarian sound and crowd-pleasing performances. With a mix of vocals, accordion, saxophone, guitar, and great vibes, they bring traditional Volksmusik and modern party hits to life. Their experience spans international festivals, TV appearances, and decades of dedication to live music. Whether on a big festival stage or in a packed beer tent, they turn every event into a true celebration.
Vocals, Keys & All Things Music
Christian Eder
A true multi-instrumentalist and lifelong musician, Christian has performed across Europe and the U.S. for over 40 years. Trained in classical and jazz at prestigious institutions in Vienna, he plays everything from keyboard and accordion to saxophone, flute, trumpet, and drums. His musical journey has taken him from Munich’s “Stars in der Manege” to the Oktoberfests of Stuttgart and Miami. Music isn’t just his career — it’s his life.
Guitar, Vocals & Technical Wizard
Gregor Eder
Gregor first hit the stage at just 15 and has grown into a versatile performer with both musical and technical skills. On top of his guitar and vocal work with the Donau Piraten, he’s a lighting and sound technician, music journalist, event photographer, and festival organizer. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, Gregor lives and breathes live performance.
Vocals & Vibes
Ruth Eder
With infectious energy and a voice full of heart, Ruth is the soul of the band. Her musical path began in early childhood, and while she tried several instruments, she ultimately found her truest expression through singing. She loves connecting with the audience and brings joy to every performance — often joining guests on the dance floor for a bit of line dancing or traditional Bavarian moves!
