Hans Hannemann & The Lone Riders is a brand new band from Holland and Belgium trying to make good music. They played their first ever gig in Den Bosch Prison which made them a favourite among conmen, crooks, bums, desperados and hoodlums. However, it's hard to live up to the outlaw image and the band has decided to try and play for people outside of the chaingang scene as well.
The members are nobody less than singer/pianist/guitarist:
Hans Hannemann (a former Dublin-bar pianist of 22 trying to get his life back on track by playing in band),
Maarten van Damme (Stevie Ann, Rosemary's Sons): bass/guitar,
JanPeter Hoekstra (Krezip, William Seens transport Music): bass/guitar
and Wim Geenen (Admiral Freebee, Guy Swinnen) on drums.
See? No rookies on this team...
Combined with the amazing tunes Hans has written over the years they provide a unique blend of roots-based music in which elements of Crooner-Jazz, Country, Blues, pop, rock and Swing can be found.
Sure, they're not the first to put different styles together, stir it around and call it rock 'n roll but they are the first with the 'Lone Riders' sound.
Find out for yourself.
Soon.
They may just entertain you.
Thank you.
God bless.
