A celebration of infectious “handmade” music!

Musical variety has always been Hans Theessink’s trademark. Whether he plays solo or with other musicians. Theessink is a sure guarantee for heartfelt American Blues & Roots Music on a high emotional and technical level. Hans Theessink’s extensive roots repertoire ( somebody should give him an honorary doctorate as living musical archive!) is the tour guide for a musical journey that oozes sheer joy and takes the audience on a rousing trip through a mix of Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Roots Rock and even some Gospel. It’s one big jamsession with an intensity that in no time sends the sparks flying over to the audience and keeps them electrified. In the Hans Theessink Band Hans is ably supported by ace keyboard man Roland Guggenbichler on organ, piano and accordeon while three Zimbabwean singers add their powerful voices, percussion, choreography and African spirit to the overall mix.

Hans’ talking…

Roland is a wonderful sensitive keyboard player who always surprises me with the right lick at the right time. I met Insingizi 1997 at a benefit concert in Graz, Austria. I loved their voices and invited them to sing on my album “Lifeline.” Vusa, Ramadu and Blessings stuck to it and worked hard to get a very complete vocal trio sound. We’ve performed on and off for the last 20 years – I love the African twist that Insingizi add to my music.
