Leif de Leeuw Band (NL)
The Leif de Leeuw Band is Europe's leading southern jam band. Leif has been voted best blues-rock guitarist in the Benelux ten times in a row! And is ranked number 1 in the Benelux category.
The six-piece band delivers a show with blazing guitar solos, two dueling drummers, and ripping Hammond sounds, where improvisation takes center stage in powerfully narrative songs. Over the past ten years, the band has built an international reputation with tours throughout Europe, the United States, and China, and has six albums to their name. Every song allows for improvisation, meaning no two shows are the same. The sound is a delightful blend of rock, blues, Americana, country, and southern rock, with heartfelt lyrics and a delightful seventies flair.
For inspiration, the Leif de Leeuw Band listened to American bands like Gov't Mule, The Allman Brothers Band, Blackberry Smoke, Chris Stapleton, and The Wood Brothers. They sought the perfect marriage of good songs and adventurous improvisations that truly shine in a live setting.
For fans of the Allman Brothers Band, DeWolff, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Little Feat, Warren Haynes, Gov't Mule, and Derek and the Dominos, seeing the Leif de Leeuw Band is a must.
