Maurice van Hoek & Bertolf

Maurice van Hoek & Bertolf
Saturday 5 July
Flatt & Scruggs, The Monroe Brothers, Skaggs & Rice, The Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe & Doc Watson, Norman Blake & Tony Rice - just a few of the legendary duos that have shaped the course of bluegrass history. Dutch singer-songwriters and bluegrass-style acoustic guitar virtuosos Maurice van Hoek & Bertolf pay tribute to these icons with a special show dedicated to their musical legacy.
In the early days of bluegrass, even before the genre had a name, two musicians and their instruments were enough to make a ‘band’. Even as bluegrass evolved and full bands became more common, the duo format remained beloved. Whether siblings, spouses, or simply musical soulmates, the tradition of the bluegrass duo runs deep, and Maurice & Bertolf honor some of their favorites with heartfelt renditions of timeless classics.
Blending these tributes with their own original material - both are acclaimed songwriters in their own right - they promise a dynamic and captivating set. Expect fiery guitar work, flawless harmonies, and high energy in a spectacular show, filled with nothing but top-tier songs, where two passionate musicians push and elevate each other on stage.
