▌ █▌ Dutch blues guitarist, singer and songwriter Hans Theesink ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ has been carving a niche for himself in the U.S. market ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ through the late 1980s and early 1990s. It's no easy task ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ growing up in the Netherlands and teaching oneself the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ blues, but perhaps that's the reason Theesink's guitar ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ stylings are so unique. Theesink became hooked on blues as ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ a teenager listening to the radio, playing mandolin and ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ guitar. His favorites became Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ and Brownie McGhee, but later on he was exposed to a wider ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ variety of influences. Theesink was 12 or 13 when he began ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ playing guitar in earnest, and by his late teens he was ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ playing in clubs and coffeehouses around Germany and the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Netherlands. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Theesink began his recording career in 1970 for a variety ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ of small labels in Netherlands and Germany, and continued ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ perfecting his craft and honing his skills at clubs and ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ festivals across Europe. Through the 1970s, his eventual ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ goal was to come to America to learn firsthand from the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ masters in the Mississippi Delta. It would be 1979 before ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Theesink would make it to America, and not surprisingly, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ his first stop was the Mississippi Delta. The trip proved ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ fruitful, as he met and jammed with many Delta musicians, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ absorbing all he could from them and eventually ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ incorporating their knowledge into his own style. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Theesink's U.S. albums include two albums for Flying ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Fish/Rounder Records, Baby Wants to Boogie (1987) and ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Johnny and the Devil (1989). More recently, his other ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ domestically available albums for a variety of labels ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ include Call Me (1992), Hans Theesink and Blue Groove: ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Live (1993), Hard Road Blues (1995), and Crazy Moon ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ (1997). ▐█ ▐
