The Joe Cocker Connection
The lead singer becomes Joe Cocker himself.
Born with the same specific voice, the singing of Cocker Songs is a second nature for him.
The combination of the Cocker-looks, his voice, the typical arm movements and expression, ensure that the audience is on a real Joe Cocker Concert.
The Joe Cocker Connection takes the audience on a musical journey through the hits that millions of Cocker fans have hit the last noon from the Earth, to be used, in the old ones in the old ones in the old ones, in the old ones, in the old ones, in the old ones, in the old ones, in the old ones in the Former, in the Mong, in the Former, in the Former, in the Mong, in the Mongs, in the Former, in the Num, in the Num, in the Former, in in the Mong, in the Form in the in the Longs in In In Ond in the In In Intria in In Ond in the In In Intria in In In In In In In In Intr in the Long in In In In Intr in the Bis In In In In In In Intria In In In In In In In Intria In In In In In In In In Intr in
Bio
The Joe Cocker Connection was founded in 2011 by Dirk Verstocken, after a press release for a Live Solo Joe Cocker Act, which he did in 2010.
The article stated that "the performance was at such a high level that the singer really had to surround himself with a number of great musicians to be able to meet the exponentially growing question of tribute acts." After he had been in a few bands in previous years, and was somewhat disappointed about how to step into a tire, Dirk was not really struggling in a tire.
At that time he was quite happy as a solo artist.
He also thought that a band would not get anywhere if every band member had to have a say in every decision that had to be made.
So he knew that the search would not be easy.
He not only needed great musicians, but especially great people!
Musicians without ego, who were willing to set aside their own virtuosity to play as a band and not as an individual.
In March 2011 he finally decided to catch the cow by the horns, and to set up his own Joe Cocker Tribute Band ... Only this time, on his own conditions!
In Reggie Baeyens, a trained musician and excellent guitarist, he finds his Wingman and Soulmate.
Together they start a journey that will not go without obstacles.
People came and people went, but the two always kept together.
With Reggie as a musical leader and Dirk as a general band manager, they literally made The Joe Cocker Connection what it is today.
A 9-member professional tribute band, with very competent musicians and an impressive Joe Cocker Tributes Show.
With concerts in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Romania, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and of course their home country Belgium, this band has grown into one of the best Joe Cocker Tribute acts in Europe.
