Leif de Leeuw Band (NL)

Leif de Leeuw and his fantastic band are among the hottest Southern Rock acts in all of Europe and are winners of the German Record Award 2024. With two grooving drummers, jazzy organ playing, and the distinctive voice of guitarist and singer Sem Jansen, the band creates their own incredibly rich sound in the style of the Allman Brothers. With six musicians on stage, the band delivers a show featuring breathtaking guitar solos, two dueling drummers, and roaring Hammond sounds, where improvisation is at the heart of strong songs. Over the past ten years, the band has built an international reputation through tours in Europe, America, and China, and they are winners of the German Record Award 2024 - Blues, Rock category.

While the Leif de Leeuw Band clearly has its musical roots in blues rock, since the combo, led by the multiple award-winning guitarist Leif de Leeuw, expanded from a quartet to a sextet for a live project featuring the music of the Allman Brothers Band a few years ago, it has become one of the hottest Southern Rock acts in all of Europe. The sound is a fine mix of rock, blues, Americana, country, and Southern rock with sincere lyrics, all infused with a lovely '70s touch.
