Tim Knol & Blue Grass Boogieman

Tim Knol and the award-winning Blue Grass Boogiemen have returned to the theater with ‘Tim Knol & Blue Grass Boogiemen Ride Again!’ Their previous successful show, ‘Lost & Found III,’ left the audience craving for more. These five friends continue to challenge one another with their virtuoso string playing, making their joy of playing the guitar ooze from the stage. Additionally, a new collaborative album, a follow-up of their successful album ‘Happy Hour,’ will be released right before the start of this theater tour.

Delving deeper into the rich history of bluegrass and country music, these musicians have a keen eye for the nuances of performers like Townes Van Zandt, The Stanley Brothers, and Flatt and Scruggs. In ‘Tim Knol & Blue Grass Boogiemen Ride Again,’ they play tracks from their latest album and music from their heroes, interspersed with stories about those heroes.

The following was written in the media about the CD ‘Happy Hour’:

de Volkskrant****: “When Dutch musicians are playing deeply rooted American genres you might be a bit skeptical. There's nothing worse than Americana smelling like Brussels sprouts. Fortunately, there are artists like Tim Knol and the Blue Grass Boogiemen, who are experts at playing bluegrass. Anyone who has seen them jointly on stage already knows. They know how to play Americana, and know how to play it extremely well… Their show 'Happy Hour' provides plenty of proof."

AD: "The combination of Knol's delightful drawling voice and the sometimes uplifting, sometimes melancholic, polyphonic American country music not only makes sense, but is utterly brilliant. The songs on 'Happy Hour' are fresh, soulful, uplifting, and authentic. Their live show is a definite must-see.”
