Welkom op de website !

Ik ben een enorme muziekliefhebber, ook bluesliefhebber en heb in de loop der jaren veel kennis van blues en aanverwante muziekstijlen vergaard. Met "bluesfarm"  kan ik op diverse manieren advies en info geven aan iedereen die bluesconcerten wil organiseren, bands die een podium zoeken en media die info zoeken over bluesmuziek. Zoals dat wel vaker gaat ben ik er bij toeval ingerold. Het begon met een paar dingetjes regelen en doen voor een  USA bluesman. Daarna  waren er wat bands die mij benaderden via myspace. Zo kan het dus gebeuren dat ik me op deze manier manifesteer om een aantal artiesten aan optredens te helpen. Dit valt niet altijd mee, soms is het moeilijk om te constateren dat sommige artiesten mensen volledig koud laten.

Uiteraard gaat het niet om mij, maar om dat machtige iets, muziek en in het bijzonder:

Americana, Blues and Beyond....

 

 

Please allow me to give a brief introduction. My Christian name is Jacob,  preferable-  Jay. I was born in  the Netherlands in 1960. When i was a boy of five years, my parents played the LP Soundtrack from the musical "Annie get your gun" . There was a tune with a dobro. I was very excited and curious, this sounded so different from my dad's music (Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller) and my mom's (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino) i played it over and over again.

When i was about eight years old, my older nephews were into BLUES. They listened to Jimmy Hendrix, Doors, Livin' Blues, John Mayall, Jethro Tull,  Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield etc. This was my music, i loved those guitars, harmonicas, the lyrics and the way they sounded and dressed.

So, here i am, 50-ish years old and more into blues and americana as ever before ! It's a passion that will last forever. So many pre-war blues to discover, so many new bands: i love it !  

People say i am honest, trustworthy, serious (as serious as hell), reliable and that  'i've got a golden ear listening to music'. 

Although times are still very hard booking gigs for musicians, i will not give up easy. But..let's make this clear: the live music scene is very poor for the 2nd year in a row. Therefore, it can happen that the number of gigs we book for you, will not meet your wishes and demands. We work on commission, "no cure, no pay"

Since Bluesfarm music Agency is relative young in this business, we are building our own network of venues,clubs,cafees, theaters etc. We cover all blues clubs in the Netherlands and Belgium. 

If you think  that working with  big fishes in this business will be more satisfying, don't hesitate to contact one of those agencies. In general, all agencies are handling a great number of artists/bands.

Due to health issues, i kindly ask you to contact me through e-mail rather than telephone/voip/skype.

 

Please take notice: Bluesfarm will only work for and with artists who we believe in, both as human and as musician, with all due respect.
