Robbert Duijf Band ​
Winner European Blues Challenge 2024
​
Robbert He brings his music pure, sincere and full of passion. His voice is pure and full of
surrender. By singing and playing from his heart, he makes a deep connection with his audience.
In his shows as a solo artist, duo or with his band, he tells stories with a message.
Sing, laugh, clap together and also wipe away a tear…music that connects and makes you feel good.
This is extremely important, especially at this time!
​
