Authentic, raw and exciting.
With true love and feeling for real blues music
Bluesheat are an authentic, raw and exciting
bluesband that rocks, rattles and sweats with
a passion.
Bluesheat treat their audience to an inspired
and varied mix of their own interpretations
of tracks by great bluesmen like Elmore James,
Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf with a range
of blues styles like boogie, jungle, rock, shuffle,
slow, swing or jump.
Besides more or less well known classics there
is ample room for danceable band originals
like the boogying 'I'm coming home' by Wouter,
the melancholic “'Nothing moving me”,
the stomping “Don't fall in love” and local
dialect favourite “Swoar an de grond” by Erik.
Frontman Erik whips up the audience and
urges them to take part in the show,
sometimes even supplying them with
tambourine or washboard.....
Bluesheat are a regular guest in the
Netherlands on several blues events around
the country, including a yearly tour of the
island Ameland.
The core of the band was forged in 2005 by an
unstoppable passion for the blues shared by
two guitarists and a singer. They only needed a
solid rhythm section with the right drive to add
the missing pieces of the 'jigsaw puzzle'.
Of course the Jigsaw puzzle blues has
been a live set staple ever since.
“Hundred Foot?”
“Precision?”
Multi instrumentalist Christian Schaeffer plays guitars,
mandolin and harmonicas and sings as well. He has
been active in music since the 60's in bands ranging
from rock to top 40. He'll play anything from a driving
riff to a howling and whining lead and even do some
crooning through his harmonica or the pickups of his
guitar.
Lex van Heereveld is inspired by vintage original blues
recordings but not afraid of some funky stuff too. Has
been keeping up the bottom end of the blues since the
70's.
“Bluesdude?”
Erik Waterman has a passion for the blues, the blues
and more of the blues. He's been a bluesman since he
first stepped up to a mike at 18. Motto: “The heat is on!”.
Don't let him get near you with a tambourine though.
