Description
Michael de Jong (Fontenay-le-Comte, France, 1945) is a Dutch-American blues guitarist and singer songwriter. In the early days when he played with the Michael de Jong Band there were more influences in his music by Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Jimmy Reed,... relying on 1950s blues and rockabilly. Nowadays he plays (mostly solo) sober intimate songs using just a guitar and his hoarse worn out voice. He writes about his struggle with life, about women ("Gods masterpiece"), love and the decay of society.
