For years I played bass in Holland with a rockabilly band. I started in 1988 as a rhythm guitar player/singer but switched at the end of 1999 to bass. From that moment on my career as a rockabilly musician sky rocket. I played with bands such as. Red Shots, King Size Trio, Miss Marry Ann, Reno Brothers and Lill’ Esther and The Tinstars. With Them I played on the High Rockabilly festival in 2006. In that same year I Played on The Hollywood Showdown in L.A, USA. During that tour we played in six different states. We started in Chicago where we stayed at Jimmy Suttons house. Moved up north to Stevens Point, played in Oneida casino in Green Bay, go down heading Denver. Crossed the Rocky’s and passed the Nevada dessert. We did Riverside, San Diego, Anaheim and ended in L.A.
I want to play classic rockabilly. So it has to be a little wild and agressive. But never to fast or to loud and it should be danceable.. That's why my credo: Dance, Dance People.
In 2004 I met a Russian band called the Phantoms. With them I recorded my first album "What's The Rumôr". With them I discovered that Russian bands like Phantoms , Neva River Rockets and later the Tri Tones from Estonia are easy to work with. They will do evrything to let you look good. The nice thing is that I often had the chance to work in Estonia and Russia with these great bands.
Of course we don’t have many chances to work together, because of the distance between our countries. That make this project special to all other rockabilly acts. So if you have the chance to see us please take the effort to do that and come out to meet us!
I allready played in:
Amsterdam, Paris, Hamburg, Nurnberg, Berlin,Bonn, Barcelona, Geneve, Lausanne, Vienna, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn,New Castle, Coventry, Sint petersburg, Moscow, Chigaco, Denver, San Diego & L.A to mention a few..
So maybe next time your hometown?
