Robbert Duijf Band

About

Robbert Duijf plays gospel and delta blues the old way, rooted in the tradition and leaning on his weathered voice and expressive guitar playing. He mixes in touches of folk and soul, so it honors where the genre came from without sounding like a museum piece. His songs deal in hope, struggle and connection, and the aim is plain: music from the heart that heals and brings people together. He works in a few different shapes. Sometimes it is just him, sometimes his son Rubin joins on double bass, and sometimes it grows into a trio with drummer Sjaak Korsten. His album Silver Spoon won him a Dutch Blues award. The shows are meant to be warm and communal, the kind where you sing along, laugh a bit and maybe shed a tear.
