About the band – Liquid & Bones Liquid & bones, a passionate yet quirky blues quartet that plays to make you dance! Marco (guitar), Collin (drums), Lotte (doublebass) and Loes (singer) joined forces from quite a different background when it comes to their personal gateways into their love for blues music. Together they form a dynamic quartet that celebrates all that blues can be. From slow and atmospheric to upbeat and goofy. They are inspired by the first recordings of Memphis Minnie, the guitar play by “the Texas razor” Albert Collins, the undeniable Chicago shuffle and the sliding sounds from the Mississippi Delta. They take their own spin and will make it impossible to sit still.
