Leo en Marius Blokhuis
When Leo was thirteen, he was given an old valve radio. Marius got his first electric guitar at thirteen. Father and son, both of them mad about music.
In this show, Leo Blokhuis delves into the phenomenon of father and son in pop music. Cat Stevens wrote the famous song about father and son, about the generation gap, while Peter Gabriel wrote a moving song about father and son supporting each other. The story features famous and less famous musical fathers and sons, such as Tim and Jeff Buckley, Jim and AJ Croce, Johnny and Shuggie Otis, Alfred, John, Julian and Sean Lennon, George (Tornados) and Matt (Muse) Bellamy.
Are they alike, do they get something from each other, is the relationship a blessing or a curse? Does the son stand in the shadow of his famous father, or does he outshine him? And how do they influence each other? Who better to explore this subject with than his own son Marius, who plays guitar brilliantly and graduated from the Conservatory in 2025. Leo’s infectious stories are illustrated with Marius’s beautifully performed live songs and complemented by music clips from Leo’s trusty laptop.
