Liquid & Bones | Liquid & Bones

Liquid & Bones, a passionate blues quartet that plays bluesy tunes with soul and sass, that tickle your toes, tug your heart and make you want to shake your ass.

This bunch of people joined forces from quite a different background when it comes to their personal gateways into their love for blues music.

Marco Tinari

Guitar & Vocals

Marco is a guitar player at heart. He has been playing the blues from when he was a young child and never stopped. First with the Jumpin’ Eye Blues Band, then in search for the roots of the blues with the Papaleg Duo. His journey throughout the years made him play with blues artists like Billy Branch, Garry Burnside, David Lee Durham, Sharon Lewis, Peaches Staten, Jimbo Mathus, Carlos Johnson, Olga Munding, Rich Del Grosso, Cadillac John, Bill Abel, Jon Short, Elam McNight... from the House of Blues in Chicago to the Ebony CLub in Indianola MIssissippi. He combines moving his hands at a high speed around the neck of his guitar with a facial expression that reveals nothing but passion.

Collin van den Broek

Drums

Collin has spent years on the same dancefloors as Lotte, but started playing drums long before. Going from mathmatic poprock to swingjazz and now to Liquid & Bones, he has a variety of styles and rhythms in his brain, ready to use a in varied world of blues music. His dancing experience tells him what the body needs, from a steady groove to why the start of a turnaround needs to be syncopated.

Lotte Dijkstra

Double Bass

Lotte Dijkstra found her love for blues music via the magnetic world of swing and blues dancing, where she spent years moving to the grounded beats of African and African American rooted music. Being somewhat restricted during the pandemic, she decided to pick up the double bass, which has its foundation in rhythm, but tells a tonal story as well. She is rapidly developing, so better beware.

Loes Jongerling

Vocals

Loes met the blues in 2018. With her soulfull voice she has been making music since high school. Singing to funk, pop and electronic music, but blues is where her voice and heart feel at home. If she is not making music, loes is making art. As a freelance illustrator or working on her own creative projects. Incapable of sitting still, she’s always looking for new ways to express herself and bluesdancing has recently been added to her list of creative missions.

Together they form a dynamic quartet that celebrates all that blues can be. From slow and atmospheric to upbeat and goofy. They are inspired by the first recordings of Memphis Minnie, the guitar play by ´the Texas razor´ Albert Collins, the undeniable Chicago shuffle and the sliding sounds from the Mississippi Delta. They take their own spin and will make it impossible to sit still.
