An adventurous trip with The Captain: a voyage full of steaming swamp & roots rock.
Got your lifejackets on?



Let the bon times rouler! 






The Captain are four Dutch musicians that play an exciting, pulsating type of music, departing from blues roots. Till now, they have made six albums,which got really good reviews. From their first one,  He’s Back, the reactions were quite favourable. The band and singer Henk Waninge were linked to the likes of Tom Waits, Neil Young, Robert Johnson, J.J. Cale en Captain Beefheart (who is honoured in the band name.)

They made five more albums in the same vein: Fade Away, The Captain Goes Euro, Flanders Fields, Let The Bon Times Rouler and Meet The Monster. The lyrics are mysterious, the vocals sinister and the music firm, rootsy and swampy. Theirnew album will be released at the start of 2023.

  • Henk Waninge                               -                    Vocals, guitar & piano
