Stackhouse |
Stackhouse is a swinging harp-led band from the Netherlands and plays traditional blues in the classic Chicago tradition. The inspiration for the band’s name came from bluesman Houston Stackhouse who influenced many blues players that later moved on to Chicago. Despite a pretty big age difference between band members, their seemingly effortless ensemble performance does not suggest any age gap. Their latest album “ Tailgatin’“ picks up where the band’s debut album ” Big Fish Boogie ” left off and delves ever deeper into the blues this time around.
Machiel Meijers (vocals/harmonica) and Willem Van Dullemen (guitars/vocals) are the creative force behind the band and together have written the lion’s share of original material for the band. Frontman Meijers is a showman with vocals that are energetic and gritty, and his main harmonica influences Big Walter, Little Walter and both Sonny Boys, feature heavily in his originals. Quoting, rather than copying he is rapidly developing his own style. The rhythm section features Bert Post on drums and Fred Van Unen on double bass. Together they lay a solid foundation for the band. Experienced musicians van Dullemen and Post go back as far as the 1981 North Sea Jazz festival, but instead of diminishing their abilities, the years have only added to the depth of their playing. Willem van Dullemen is still one of the most tasteful blues guitar players in the country and weaves his guitar lines nicely around those of the talented Emiel Van Pelt (guitar) who flaunts virtuoso solos on many songs. |
