A country double-bill featuring JJ's Country and Tio Gringo.
JJ's Country started as a solo project but has now evolved into a powerful trio. With Jeroen Haamers, Mark Eeftens, and Eric Haamers, the band delivers a mix of classic country songs and original work, always with a unique twist.
They manage to capture the depth of the song ‘Wichita Lineman’ while also delivering a punch with their energetic sound. Inspiration struck during the pandemic, during which two albums were released: ‘The Legacy’, a tribute to the classics, and ‘The Originals’, which firmly established JJ's Country in the alternative and outlaw country scene.
Currently, the band is working on new material, with each song receiving both an acoustic and an electric version.
Tio Gringo was founded in 2009. They experienced a successful period with performances at events such as Speedfest, Beaverfest, Muddy Roots Europe, and in numerous rock 'n' roll cafés and venues. The music of Tio Gringo remains true to its roots, offering a hearty mix of rugged country with a punk attitude.
The strength of the band has remained intact, even though there have been various line-ups over the past few years. Even after singer Mo lost his battle with cancer, the original line-up came together for a memorial performance, reigniting their passion.
Subsequently, they performed as the support act for Bob Wayne, again with the original members. This marked the official moment when the band decided to breathe new life into Tio Gringo.
