Music
Vocalist and harmonica player rooted in the blues. From smoky bars to festival stages, Kevin has been a driving force in the Dutch blues scene across multiple bands and projects.
The Damned and Dirty
Started in 2012 as a lo-fi delta blues one-off. Became one of the Netherlands' most decorated blues acts — three consecutive Best Dutch Blues Album awards, a Dutch Blues Award for Best Blues Act, and a packed Paradiso. Equal parts Mississippi porch and back-alley brawl. Six records and counting.
New album: Fading Sun May 2026
Singles: Fading Sun, Queen of the Board
Down Jones
Raw, unpolished blues rock. Over 25 years on European stages with a swinging mix of heavy boogie, powerful blues rock and soulful moments. Proud to carry the torch after the passing of founder Frank van Pardo and bassist Cees Booij.
Lucifer's Playlist
Uncompromising blues-rock with deep roots in the boogie. Organ-driven, 1970s-flavored — thick riffs, raw harmonica, and sprawling jams that stretch from three-minute grooves to twenty-minute epics. Currently less active.
BluesMotel
Uncut Chicago blues — raw harmonica, crackling guitars, and a groove that grabbed you by the collar. Active from 1999 to 2014. "Bound to Drive You Crazy" was named a Dutch Iconic Blues Album by Blues Magazine. Music still on Bandcamp.
