Delta Boys - Gorke / van Merwyk
Rough and Easy - DELTA BOYS
This year, harp player extraordinaire and SEYDEL endorsee Gerd Gorke is celebrating 30 years as an important contributor to the European blues scene.
Guitarist Michael van Merwyk has spent hundreds of nights paying his dues onstage and has recently emerged as a rising international star: His band Bluesoul placed second in the band category at the 2013 International Blues Challenge – the highest finish ever for a non-American act!
On Rough & Easy, the twosome interprets country blues classics by Tampa Red and Big Bill Broonzy, traditional American roots and spiritual numbers as well as a handful of original compositions. Gorke and van Merwyk share vocal duties throughout, each one possessing a voice as deep and rich as Delta soil.
Musically, the two veterans show why they are considered among Europe's finest!
