DeWolff, a dynamic trio from The Netherlands, masterfully blends Hammond organ, guitar, and drums to create an electrifying fusion of southern blues-rock with hints of soul and psychedelia. They have been playing together for half their lives and are now in their mid-twenties. Despite their youth, they’ve already released nine studio albums—seven of which reached the Dutch Top 20—three live albums, two EPs, and even recorded an album with renowned Black Keys producer Mark Neill.

DeWolff’s fully analog studio, where they produce their music and numerous critically acclaimed albums, has become a cornerstone of Dutch roots-rock history. Esteemed musicians like Luther Dickinson frequently join them for recording sessions. With over a thousand shows across Europe, Australia, Indonesia, and Russia, they have also hosted their festival, ‘DeWolffest,’ for the past three years.

In 2019, DeWolff won the prestigious Edison Award (aka a Dutch GRAMMY) for ‘Best Rock.’ In 2020, they received a Buma Award for ‘Best Sync.’ Their latest tour included over a hundred shows across 13 countries, including The Netherlands, Switzerland, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Lithuania, Italy, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, and Austria, and their first visit to Indonesia. They have toured with notable acts like Toto, The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, Deep Purple, Ten Years After, and Wolfmother. Fans like Seasick Steve and Roger Glover have praised them, with Steve once mistaking their sound for the Allman Brothers in 1972. After more than a decade as a band, DeWolff is just getting started.
