Tim Knol & The Bluegrass Boogiemen - Ride Again

Tim Knol and the award-winning Blue Grass Boogiemen are back in the theater with Ride Again. You already saw their previous program Lost & Found III in Walhalla and that left you wanting more. And luckily there was much more to come, because the successor to their acclaimed album Happy Hour is also knocking on the door.

The musician friends dig further into the rich history of bluegrass and country music. They have a fine nose for the frayed edges of performers such as Townes Van Zandt, The Stanley Brothers and Flatt and Scruggs. In Tim Knol & Blue Grass Boogiemen Ride Again they play the songs from their new album and the music of their heroes, interspersed with anecdotes about those heroes.

“Dutch people who play deeply rooted American genres; then you are inclined to hold your breath as a precaution. Little is worse than americana that smells like Brussels sprouts. Fortunately, there are artists like Tim Knol and the virtuoso bluegrass group Blue Grass Boogiemen. Anyone who saw them perform together already knows: they can do it, and not just that... Happy Hour proves this once again.” - de Volkskrant ★★★★

“The combination of Knol's wonderful voice with the sometimes stirring, sometimes melancholic, polyphonic American rural music is as logical as it is brilliant. The songs on Happy Hour sound fresh, lived-in, exciting and authentic. Be sure to see them live.” -AD
