Leo en Marius Blokhuis
In this performance, 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 the father and son who support each other. The story features well-known and lesser-known 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.
Do they look alike, are they useful to each other, is the relationship a blessing or a curse? Is the son in the shadow of the famous father or does he outshine him? And how do they influence each other?
Who better to explore this subject in depth with than his own son Marius, who plays the guitar wonderfully and graduated from the conservatory in 2025. Leo's enthusiastic stories are illustrated with Marius' beautifully played live songs and supplemented with music fragments from Leo's trusty laptop.
