I'm a professional freelance bass player (both electric and upright) from Amsterdam (the Netherlands) specialized in backing-up blues- and roots musicians touring in Europe. I can advise you in choosing European based musicians, I know how to travel in Europe, I speak fluent Dutch, good English and enough German and French to get by.

People I backed-up in the past (a.o.):
Philip Walker, Eddy Clearwater, Terry Evans, Paul Oscher,
the Radio Kings, Candye Kane, Sherman Robertson,
Gordon Beadle, Toni Lynn Washington, Long John Hunter,
Hans Theessink, Ellis Hooks, Johnny Mastro, Boyd Small,
Monti Amundson, Doug Jay, Boo Boo Davis, Byther Smith,
Big George Jackson, David Gogo.

Feel free to contact me for any musical project in the future.

Thanks for visiting!
