On top of that they made second place at the European Blues Challenge, consolidating their fearless reputation having an eclectic sound that simply can't be found anywhere else!
Doghouse Sam writes and performs songs with a lot of heart and gusto. His music style, steeped in the sounds of early Rhythm'n'Blues, found a dedicated audience and yielded lots of positive press. Furthermore Sam pulls it off to bring something fresh and original to the table in a scene that isn't that big on changes. "My style of playing isn't about big arpeggio sweeps or stuff like that. What I dig is the more primitive/brutal approach and try to come up with strong songs that aim directly at the heart. ": says Doghouse Sam, who has been in bands since he was 16.
Doghouse Sam surrounded himself with a bunch of talented artists for his shows. Upright bass virtuoso Jack o Roonie has literally been all around the world with his music. He backed up lots of big names as Ronnie Dawson and Chuck Berry to name a few. On drums there's Franky Gomez who's got a very distinctive and creative style of playing rhythm which got him elected "best drummer of the Netherlands" in 2010. As a trio, Doghouse Sam & his Magnatones deliver a solid show. each and every time!
In short, these guys are all about heart, honesty and hard work on stage.
It'll be hard to keep your toes from tapping.
