Guitarists Servaas Bollen and Alex Konijnenburg alias Gumbo & The Monk bring out the raw sound of the Mississippi Delta Blues. They do so on traditional handmade instruments like the Cigar Box Guitar, License Plate Resonator Guitar and Diddley Bow. With these authentic sounding instruments Gumbo & The Monk are paying a tribute to Robert Johnson, Son House and Mississippi John Hurt. They also play early work of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker. The intimacy and intensity of Gumbo & The Monk’s (semi) acoustic show makes the audience feel as if they are in an original Mississippi Juke Joint.

Gumbo & The Monk perform in clubs and blues festivals all over the Netherlands and abroad, including the Red Light Jazz Festival.
