More features on the way over the next few days! Right now, check out blues-rock band
The Blue Van! The group’s members include
Steffen Westmark (vocals and guitar),
Søren Christensen (keyboard, vocals and guitar),
Allan Villadsen (bass) and
Per Jørgensen (drums and vocals).
The quartet grew up in the same area of Northern Jutlan in
Denmark, meeting in kindergarten! While other kids in their school were interested in soccer and dance music, the group wanted to do something different, and started playing music together. “We discovered early on after playing local talent shows and youth clubs that this was a dream we wanted to pursue,” they said. Their parents insisted that they finish high school first, but after they did, the guys moved to Copenhagen to focus on their music.
The Blue Van is more inspired by British and American bands, than music from Denmark. “When we first started out we were very much into mid-sixties british invasion bands. Kinks, Small Faces, The Who etc,” they said. “Since then, with all the traveling and touring, we have broadened our horizons immensely.”
