New! WinterGrass: A Free Mini-Festival Featuring 5 Bluegrass Bands

The lineup features five of RBF’s favorite Dutch bands:

Jesus Evil Highway
Old-school acoustic country: straight from the heart, but with a pitch-black edge. Hailing from Rotterdam-West, Jesus Evil Highway brings a raw, lonesome sound to every song—whether it’s murder ballads, hypnotic road songs, or age-old bluegrass traditionals.

Them Peckin Boys
This bluegrass, folk, and country ensemble from Haarlem—former winners of the RBF talent contest—has nailed it: outstanding instrumental skills, infectious songs, lively stage presence, and a unique character all their own.

Shiny Moonlit Boys
These six musicians dove deep into bluegrass history and have honed their craft through countless rehearsals and live performances. They play straightforward bluegrass with a delightful blend of skill and fun.

Rosine Bluegrass Family
Since winning the RBF talent contest a few years back, this seven-piece band from Zeeland has been spreading feel-good, traditional bluegrass across the Netherlands.

Chop ’n Roll
The members of this Den Bosch-based bluegrass band first met during a jam session at EWOB in 2023. Their sound is raw yet harmonious, infused with a strong sense of camaraderie, nostalgia, and joy.

Limited Capacity
Het Klooster Oude Noorden is a cozy venue with limited seating. Don’t hesitate—sign up now (and bring along your friends who appreciate great music and atmosphere).
