Blues Music
Known for his authentic country and folk-blues sound, Theessink stays true to the original traditions of blues music. His simple yet powerful chord progressions and natural groove captivate audiences.
Theessink’s skill has earned praise from icons like Bo Diddley, who called him “one hell of a guitarist.”
Though widely celebrated in Europe, Theessink’s talent has also gained recognition in the United States. He has performed at prestigious American events like the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Chicago Blues Festival.
Blues Music Award
His album Lifeline features a collaboration with blues legend Charles Brown, and in 2009, he became the first European to be nominated for the Blues Music Awards for Best Acoustic Album.
In Austria, he has been honoured with the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and the City of Vienna’s recognition for his contributions to music.
