As son of National Boogie Woogie king Rob Hoeke, Ruben Hoeke was taught to make music at an early age. Ruben has now become a celebrity himself on his instrument: the electric guitar. He can easily be placed amongst the musicians who have lifted the Dutch blues to a higher level.

Since his first performance in 1992, he has toured the Netherlands continuously, played at festivals in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Estonia, USA, Ireland, Luxembourg and Curaçao, released thirteen albums in different musical genres and performed on stage with countless national and international top musicians.

Media describe Ruben Hoeke as a ‘worldclass guitarist’ and ‘one of Holland finest players of todays scene’. Although Ruben is a guitarist who plays several music styles, the Rhythm & Blues and Rock & Roll is something that comes to him naturally and straight from the heart. A journalist once defined the band as ‘a mighty blues-formation with an unique sound’ and their performance ‘sparkling as hell, like a F16 with its afterburners tuned up to the max’. With dozens of great reviews the Ruben Hoeke Band will continue delivering their cooking meltingpot of Soul, heavy Rock, Pop, stompin’ Boogie and dirty Rhythm & blues!
