Both bluesmen have worked together in the past and for years had a
vision of combining forces for a stripped down duo recording. In Dec
2007 they got together in L.A. to do just that. Within 2 days they recorded
a soulful album of original songs and soul-blues classics. The
album has an intimate feel and obviously they were having a great
time making music together.Both Hans and Terry have a reputation for superb recordings and VISIONS will once again delight even the most discerning hi-fi fan with a fantastic sonic experience. Hans Theessink & Terry Evans – 2 musical heavyweights at the top of their art – VISIONS materialised! Link: Press and promoter info |

Hans has just returned from a successful “Slow Train” tour of the UK. He made it on the cover of famous bluesmagazine "Blues in Britain" for the October issue!!!! www.bluesinbritain.org The concerts – from Jersey to Inverness, from Colchester to Abergavenny - all went really well. Hans also appeared at many BBC shows all over the country; a.o. the Paul Jones Show on BBC radio 2 – nationwide, BBC Midlands, BBC Wales, BBC Kent, BBC Suffolk and BBC Scotland. Below are reviews from Hans’ shows at Brooks Blues Bar in London, The Harbourside Blues Club in Liverpool and The Ravenswood in Sussex: Oct.5th.2007 at Brooks Blues Bar - The Telegraph, Putney Heath, London (UK) - www.bluesinlondon.com Sept.26th.2007 at Harbourside Club, Liverpool (UK) - www.bluesinthenorthwest.com Oct.8th.07 - Ravenswood, Acoustic Sussex Club (UK) - www.acousticsussex.org.uk Here’s a SLOW TRAIN review in The Herald (UK-Scotland) 29.09.2007 Blues: Hans Theessink "SLOW TRAIN" Never mind whether white men can sing the blues, can the sounds of the Mississippi cottonfields be reproduced in the Austrian vineyards? The answer to both questions is yes, because Hans Theessink has just produced an album, Slow Train, that has the dust, dirt and elbow grease of the Delta – in a makeshift studio that’s a short truck drive away from his home in Vienna. The Dutch-born singer and guitar picker also brings the country blues into the 21st century with persuasive observations on Hurricane Katrina and 9/11, as well as gospel-inflected songs and his trademark big grooving tales of love, troubles and leave taking. (Rob Adams, The Herald, UK, 29.09.2007) On his way from Vienna to the UK, Hans played a show in Wendelstein in Germany (review in German in the Nürnberger Zeitung from 25.09.2007) and another show in Oudenaarde, Belgium (review by Antoine Legat in dutch on www.folkroddels.be). |

| At the end of a year one usually looks back and basically 2006 was a good year for us. But of course life has it’s downsides too and it’s always sad when good old friends leave us for good. My old musical friend from Scotland Iain Mackintosh died in 2006. We’d known each other since...whole story |
