Robbert Fossen Band - Get Off On It! (2018)

The Robbert Fossen (Blues) Band has existed since 2006 and has had various line ups.
The style and repertoire were mostly based on the Chicago Blues, but the band is now doing a broader variety of styles. Where the Fossen & Struijk Band is a pure Chicago Blues band, there are also soul, gospel and rhythm & blues influences in the Robbert Fossen Band.
Basically the band is 6-person, but can be expanded to 12 male / female for the live shows. Also on the new album 'Get off on it' a horn section can be heard and three top female singers have been added for the backing parts.
With the new style selection, the band has taken a different route and is much more employable than just within the blues National and International circuit. Company parties, private parties, theater shows, trade fairs, in / outdoor events, anywhere Robbert Fossen Band can take 'the audience' on a musical journey past the hearths of American music history. A journey from Chicago to New Orleans and back...
The album contains a clever mix of roots music.
Soul, blues, gospel and rhythm & blues come along in 14 songs, over 65 minutes of playing time and in a great audio quality.
