The music of "Schipper & Bemanning" is characterised by "steamrolling blues rock" and is influenced by Robert Johnson, Buddy Whittington and Matt Schofield. Since its foundation, the band has played on various stages and blues festivals in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Exceptional guitarist Kees has been on stage since 1966 and celebrates the blues with heart and soul. Not only his dynamic guitar playing, but also his smoky, bluesy singing voice and his wit make the space in front of the stage feel tight. With his authentic and honest blues rock, Kees Schipper always gathers the best musicians around him for his projects.
