The four Band members have also received individual awards and or Nominations for their achievements. It goes without saying that the Veldman Brothers play more Gigs than most: in the Netherlands, but also in Germany, Belgium and France. It's this 'Team Spirit' that makes The Veldman Brothers such a unique Band - no Egos, just everything concentrated on the Music and The Song:- mostly original Songs written by themselves, influenced both by themselves and by the 'Greats of the Past' such as old Blues Hero's like The Vaughan Brothers, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Elmore James, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Smith, The Fabulous Thunderbirds etc. etc. Above all they have their own unique, very recognizable "Sound" - Blues, Rhythm & Blues, West coast Blues and Delta Blues interspersed with a touch of Rock'n Roll, Country and even Soul and Funk. Blues & Roots: Straight from the heart! That's THE VELDMAN BROTHERS!!!
