Salad Days is a home-made, independently released solo album from 2001. It's definitely my own sound, but I guess it also shows the influence of my favorite bands and my reord collection...

Because Of You

Driftwood is a pet project of five musicians from Groningen (NL) to show their love and appreciation for the timeless music of The Band.

Line-up: Jeroen de Jong, (vocals, keyboards, accordion, bass) and siblings Hette Gubbels (vocals, guitar, mandolin, bass) and Henk Gubbels (vocals, guitar, bass, fiddle) normally play together in neo-cajunband Cochon Bleu. The other two Driftwood members are Marcel Wolthof (drums, vocals) and Herman Grimme (keyboards, melodica, vocals).

These live recordings were captured by Ramon Boerman at the beautiful VanSlag venue in Borger (NL) on Feb 5 2016 and mixed by Herman Grimme.
