   About Mr.Boogie Woogie
Recently, in the company of the many of the world's best blues artists, Mr.Boogie Woogie has won the prestigious title of Best European Blues Pianist 2005. Eric-Jan Overbeek (1967) a.k.a. Mr.Boogie Woogie had his first piano lessons at the age of eight and began his musical career playing classical piano in church. At fourteen, he heard Fats Domino play the Swanee River Hop and it became clear that he wanted to be a boogie-woogie man. Soon he discovered Dutch boogie players like André Valkering and the legendary Rob Hoeke, who became a good friend until he passed away in 1999. Of course he listened to Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and Pete Johnson (the three “kings of boogie- woogie”) but being invited on stage by Hoeke and Valkering influenced his playing even more. Other influences include Dr.John, Ray Charles and, unexpectedly guitarists B.B.King and the Master of the Telecaster Albert Collins. Eric-Jan has always been stunned by so much power in blues. Since 1990 he fronts his own band Mr. Boogie Woogie & the Firesweep Bluesband, a rhythm and blues band with as “specialité de la maison” : boogie-woogie! A show by Mr. Boogie Woogie is a sensational event. His remarkable sound, his energy and enthusiasm, it sets the place on fire.

Ha meneer Woogie! (Niet je echte naam natuurlijk...) Alles kits hier; zeker speel ik nog heel veel bas, maar inderdaad ook veel steelgitaar, gitaar, en zelfs af en toe piano - de kachel moet toch roken niet waar, en wat wil je, in de muziek liggen mijn hart en mijn nieren. Hoop je snel weer eens te treffen! Succes! Groeten!

Well hello Mister Boogie.. I see you're coming back to AZ once again!! The last time I caught one of your gigs was when you played @ Char's with Bad News Blues Band... Not only did I have SUCH a great time rockin' on the dance floor, but it was mine and Johnny Guitar's B-Day... so it made for an extra special one!! Keep ROCKIN'!

All my best,

Tricia
