How to get there

The brand new show 'Bourbon Street Bash' is a nonstop display of virtuosity including Fats Domino's biggest hits like 'Blueberry Hill ', 'I'm Ready ' and 'Walking to New Orleans' but you will also enjoy quite a few songs from Dr. John and Allen Toussaint’s, enormous repertoire. Songs like 'Holy Cow', 'Working in a Coal Mine' and 'Mother in Law' makes resisting foot tapping and singing along impossible. ‘Bourbon Street Bash’ is a celebration of recognition, an explosive music spectacle, full of fire, virtuosity and humor, with an overwhelmingly charismatic horn section, a one of a kind tribute to the music of New Orleans.

 

Mr. Boogie Woogie (aka) Eric-Jan Overbeek was born in Nieuw Vennep, Netherlands. Mesmerized by an old piano in the living room, Eric-Jan began studying classical piano at the age of eight. He demonstrated an extraordinary talent for musical arrangement and got his first job at age twelve playing piano as an accompanist for dance classes. In April 2011 Overbeek was voted Best Dutch Blues Pianist 2010. He also won the prestigious title of Best European Blues Pianist 2005 in the company of the many of the world's best blues artists.
