King Bee Music Agency

About Me

If you want some real blues !!!
SO ... YOU WANNA KNOW WHO I REALLY AM?
I am Rob (see picture on top), born in 1955, and I represent King Bee Music Agency, a blues agency in the Netherlands / Europe.
I 'grew up' with the Rolling Stones (still my heroes!!!), and while listening to their rhythm & blues music in the Sixties, I got interested in the ‘Originals’, such as Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and Johnny Lee Hooker. When I heard them, I knew for sure… that’s my kind of music!!
And so it started.
Early Nineties I started working with local blues bands, one of them called the Dicky Greenwood band (still in the scene !).
In 1996 I got the opportunity to work in a more professional way. Blues promoters asked me to cooperate with their festivals, which was a fantastic start on my way to a more professional level. My next step: a cooperation with USA blues bands !!! The beginning of my career in the national and international blues scene !!!
King Bee Music Agency succeeded in organising European tours with some of the finest USA and UK bands.
King Bee Music Agency is a professional bookings agency now, and we work with some of the best blues bands:
DANNY BRYANT'S REDEYEBAND (UK)
Danny is now numbered amongst the cream of the new generation of blues musicians !!!

JOHN PRIMER & THE REAL DEAL BLUES BAND (USA)
JOE LOUIS WALKER (USA)
SUGAR RAY NORCIA & BAND (USA)
MOJO BUFORD BAND (USA)
MIKE MORGAN & THE CRAWL (USA)
ERIC STECKEL BAND (USA)
JOANNE SHAW TAYLOR (UK)

Danny Bryant's Redeyeband are our absolute No One blues band. They are signed with Continental Records (CRS) Europe.
