Hans Theessink

Hans Theessink

Hans Theessink (pronounced Tay-sink) is one of the top blues and roots musicians worldwide – he has entertained audiences around the globe during a musical career that spans over more than 35 years.

The world's leading US blues magazine - Blues Revue wrote: "Hans Theessink is an international blues treasure. He is one of the world's pre-eminent country pickers and his warm baritone voice makes him a great blues singer. Like others of his generation, in the early 1960‘s a love of the Blues took hold of the man whom Bo Diddley described as "one helluva guitar player", and it has not let go since. Above all, country blues with its earthy and heartfelt sound impressed Hans and played a major role in his development as a musician. His roots are unmistakably in the blues, but he has also been influenced by countless other aspects of roots music.
