A night of electrifying blues, and a dance floor where Liquid & Bones’ live music will have you moving all night — it’s all waiting for you!

TICKET

 Blues music and blues dance come from a rich Afro-American History, it was always a way to forget your sorrows and feel alive. BURN your blues away with the best blues music and dancing in one of the finest blues LIVE Music venues in Amsterdam!!

 About the band – Liquid & Bones 
Liquid & bones, a passionate yet quirky blues quartet that plays to make you dance!
Marco (guitar), Collin (drums), Lotte (doublebass) and Loes (singer) joined forces from quite a different background when it comes to their personal gateways into their love for blues music.
Together they form a dynamic quartet that celebrates all that blues can be. From slow and atmospheric to upbeat and goofy. They are inspired by the first recordings of Memphis Minnie, the guitar play by “the Texas razor” Albert Collins, the undeniable Chicago shuffle and the sliding sounds from the Mississippi Delta. They take their own spin and will make it impossible to sit still.

 WHEN: 25 September, 21h
 WHERE: Kompaszaal, KNSM-Laan 311, Amsterdam
