Allereerst een heel goed 2020 gewenst. En we gaan gewoon verder met de bands in het Bluescafe. Hier een overzicht wat er deze week op het podium staat.
Zaterdag 11 januari JEAN PAUL RENA Jean Paul Rena hails from the Netherlands. Born in an artist family he is a blues and guitar addict from the first day he remembers. Growing up in an atmosphere of black African and American roots music he found blues as the most natural way to follow this path in his musical career. ….also all his heroes were fine guitar players, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Albert King, B.B. King, Clapton & Stevie Ray Vaughan and guitar became his thing. After meeting and talking about music, blues and bands with Stevie Ray Vaughan a long time ago, he eventually started writing his own material and fronting his own three piece band, “Jean Paul Rena” and released five albums so far. Jean Paul Rena´s music is recognizable as an emotional mix of Blues, American Roots Rock and Rock & Roll. Rena states ´the albums reflect a sort of documenting my life, my blood, my heroes and my musical journey over the years´. I also allowed myself to be completely genuine as an artist — singer, guitar player, songwriter and producer – and I take things happening in my life and put them into music´. Not following the path of styles, expectations and marketing made it all really personal and ……free from outside powers. As he says “Unpredictable maybe but hey, nobody buys an album he or she already knows". He is as always, …unpredictable, emotinally loaded and with crash and burn guitar. In 2018 he released his last album, "A thief known for stealing hearts”. Jean Paul Rena is live performing in the Netherlands and abroad, ranging from juke joints to festivals. In 2019 he is bringing his Big City Blues besides The Netherlands also to Portugal and …. Like always he finds him self backed and supported by an excellent rhythm section. For winter 2019-2020 blues could not be rocking better ! Line Up: Jean Paul Rena – Guitar and Vocals Kit Carrera – Drums (The Dreaf, SIOTU). Michael Baumgarten – Bass (Soul Sister Dance Revolution). Aanvang 22.00 uur vrij toegang.
