During their existence, The Juke joints played at festivals at home and abroad and performed with big names such as Jan Akkerman, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Eddy ‘The Chief’ Clearwater and Ana Popovic. The Juke Joints were the first European band to play at the famous Delta Blues Festival in Greenville Mississippi.
The repertoire consists of mainly self-written songs in a mixture of blues, rock & roll, rockabilly and zydeco. The Masters Of Rock Rollin’ Blues, as the band called itself, released several studio albums and live CDs. They entered the studio with harmonica virtuoso Willie Foster from Mississippi, Eddy ‘The Chief’ Clearwater and Ana Popovic. Last studio album was Heart On Fire from 2015.
Margot Schotel made the documentary in 2019 This Is It. She followed the band in the year that The Juke Joints existed for 35 years. The documentary can be seen one more time on Omroep Zeeland tomorrow, on Ascension Day, at 5 p.m.
Comedian Katinka Polderman went into the studio with The Juke Joints in 2021 to record eight blues classics in South Beveland dialect. This resulted in the Zeeland Blues project.
