Biography
The Blue Grass Boogiemen, a.k.a. the Hillbilly Boogiemen from Holland. As the Hillbilly Boogiemen (named after the song 'Hillbilly Boogie' by the Delmore Brothers) they have been playing vintage country, rockabilly and bluegrass professionally since 1990. Their line up consists of the four playing all the instruments the aforementioned styles require; apart from the bluegrass instruments (mandolin, banjo, guitar, upright bass and fiddle) there's lap-steel, blues harp, electric guitar and a snare drum played when needed.
The Blue Grass Boogiemen play strictly acoustic instruments standing around just one omni-directional microphone. Their show has proved to be very successful not only in Europe (in Ireland they won the 'Waterford Crystal Bowl' for 'most popular band' at the Guinness Inter-national Bluegrass Festival, in Holland they won the 'Silver Fiddle Award' and recently for the sixth time the 'Gram Parsons Award' both for best acoustic country/bluegrass band and beat Alison Krauss to the number one spot in the 'Strictly Country' charts) but also in America.
