More weird blues-adaptations of pop classics out today!

I imagine Brendan of Wheatus himself also feels slightly akward singing about being a Teenage Dirtbag, well I turned 40 this year and I’d get that.
Still, this song was one of my late-teen favorites when I just started playing guitar, and a version closer to the original has been a go-to tune on monthly jam sessions!

The final season of this year is also looking to bring some cool shows, revisiting some old venues and debuting at a new one!
Mark your calendars for:

5 November – Fluor, Amersfoort
24-25 November – De Rode Haring, Almere (Vis-a-vis theater place, Almere Vertelt)
28 November – De Nieuwe Anita, Amsterdam

Have you ever heard the phrase: “all pop music comes from the blues”? Beechcraft Bonanza has and put it to the test on a number of classic pop hits from the ’80’s, 90’s and 2010’s!

This EP features the bulk of a tongue-in-cheek reimaginings repertoire that shoe-horns modern pop-songs into classic blues-forms. And according to Beechcraft Bonanza, the adage is true, “all pop music comes from the blues” and CAN be a blues!

Good Rockin’ tonight for all

Check out the latest release!
This time a more psychedelic blues drone version of an 80’s classic and 2022’s big hit! 🙂

Well hello there!

Today is very special, I have released a new recording!

This was the first song that I adapted in my exploration of the “All Pop Music Comes From The Blues”-theory, and I must say it turned out pretty well!

And even better news: this is just the first in a string of new music releases coming up this year. Expect another single in March and a full EP by the end of April! 😀

Meanwhile, backstage, I’ve signed up for February Album Writing Month 2023 (FAWM2023) which will hopefully yield a bunch of new original songs to follow up on the current covers run.

If you’re curious about the other upcoming records, why not drop by at Theatercafé Muze this Sunday afternoon?
There I’ll be playing the set at 12:00, 13:30 and 15:00.

See you soon and keep a-rockin’,

Beechcraft Bonanza

Hello everybody!

It has been quiet on here lately, but I just needed to play a few fun gigs and get some cool future bookings to kick me in the butt!

So, there are upcoming gigs now, and there will be coming more!

I have a tiktok now and across social media you’re gonna see a bunch of fun videos coming out frequently 😀

Hope to see you at the stage soon!

Hello Everyone!

Proudly I present my massive and magnificent Long Playing Album record Blue Honey Devil, which is now available for download and on vinyl via Bandcamp and for streaming on all major platforms, incl. spotify!

Hello everyone!

Het festivalseizoen is dit jaar extra feestelijk en nu we op de helft van 2019 zijn kan ik al terug kijken op een paar heerlijke hoogtepunten zoals het Elvis Event “A different Elvis” in Bergen-op-Zoom, de parade van onverwachtte luisteraars in het centrum van Harlingen en een magistraal Madnes 2019 festival!
En we zijn pas op de helft! De rest van de maand is weer wat rustiger, maar tegen het najaar aan gaan er weer wat leuke dingen voorbij komen.

In de tussentijd schrijf ik vast weer wat nieuwe liedjes en maak ik nieuwe opnames voor de volgende swingende plaatjes van Beechcraft Bonanza.

To snel!
