Due to work at the intersection of the Amerikaweg/Vorstiusrode, traffic coming from Stadshart / Europaweg on the Amerikaweg towards Poppodium Boerderij will probably experience some disruption today. It is not possible to turn left to the service road of the Amerikaweg and the entrance of Poppodium Boerderij. Further on at the roundabout towards Meerzichtlaan you can reach Poppodium Boerderij via the Meerzichtlaan exit from the other side (at Gymworld).
The young but experienced musicians of the Thomas Toussaint Band are first and foremost big fans of American blues and roots music, leading to them finding each other from different places. The sources from which this four-piece formation draws its inspiration are Chicago blues, swing, Louisiana swamp, rock 'n roll and New Orleans R&B.
Expect a dazzling set of blues & roots music in which this anything but average ensemble pushes boundaries without losing the context and essence of the genre!
“Thomas Toussaint is one of the few young harmonica players who remains loyal to the blues tradition, but with an open mind. He reminds me of myself when I was his age – incredibly fascinated by the blues genre and absorbing everything related to it like a sponge. With his talent, Thomas can do nothing but grow!” –Mark Hummel, Castro Valley, CA.
“The Thomas Toussaint Band is the future of the European blues scene, which fortunately is still growing.” – Martin Lang, Chicago, IL.
Line-up:
• Thomas Toussaint – vocals & harmonica
• Harm van Essen – guitar & vocals
