About Me

BOOKINGS by "KING BEE AGENCY"
The Nervous Fellas are named after a "Smiley Lewis" song.
They are a "roots" Rhythm & Blues band with some tough
originals and cover tunes that pay respect to the blues tradition.
The band is influenced by the modern American scene,
T-Birds, James Harman, R.J. Mischo and Red Devils. Forties and fifties old blues cats like Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Jazz Gillum, Papa Lightfoot, Frankie Lee Sims, Bo Diddley and the early John Lee Hooker.

Check out the CD "Nervous Breakdown". Be our guest. Listen to four songs on streaming audio on the website.
The Nervous Fellas consists of former band members of the Groovetones . When Groovetones frontman Willem van Dullemen, left the band to join the Keith Dunn Band in 1996, they decided to rock on.
Now, ten years after "frontman" Johan de Roos plays the bluesharp, sings, spanks his sax, and even plays some slide-stuff. They're still working on new tracks and reworking old R&B songs.
The tracks you listen to are recorded on a bluesfest in Haarlem, it 's live and done with one mike on minidisc.
Bandmembers worked with George "Wild Child" Butler, "Howling wolf piano man" Henry Gray, Rini van Willigen, Dunn-Packer Band, Lynwood Slim, Michael de Jong, Tom Principato, Ruud van Ingen, Stan " the madman" Aarts and more. They opened shows for the T-Birds, Omar and the Howlers, Paladins, and Philip Walker.
The last ten years The Nervous Fellas were again supporting act for the Paladins, backed up Big Jay Mc Neely & Dana Gillespie. Playing on Bluesfestivals, in pubs, bars, stores, on radio, weddings (no kiddin'!), theaters and other places.
They recorded CD's "drunk", the wolfcall", "Nervous Breakdown", and got intentions to make a new CD very soon..
