September 2012 saw the release of the first The Damned and Dirty album. That album was made available for free and was quickly picked up by national and international press and blues fans. It was met with raving reviews and hailed as a must-have for acoustic blues lovers.
What started out as a side project of Kevin de Harde and Micha Sprenger – also both members of BluesMotel – grew bigger and bigger. Live performances followed, including a gig in Paradiso as a support act for Ruben Hoeke. The biggest compliment came when the band won the Dutch Blues Award for Best Album in April 2013. Not bad for ‘just’ a side project.
So how do you deal with all the accolades you receive for your first album? Simple. You go back into the studio and start working on a second album with the intention to make it an even better one than the first. The result13 cracking tracks with crying slide guitar, howling vocals and dirty blues harp. Although the main focus is still acoustic Delta Blues, the musical spectrum is broader than found on the first release. We've even thrown in some acoustic jazz!
Guitarist Micha Sprenger is a Music Teacher graduate from the High School of Performing Arts in Rotterdam. He works and lives in Amsterdam. As well as being a guitarist and songwriter Micha also teaches music and guitar.
Vocalist and harmonicist Kevin de Harde has seen almost every Dutch blues club inside and out and has shared the stage with countless blues artists. He delivers gutsy vocals, thought provoking lyrics and a blues harp style to melt the most cynical heart.
