Leif De Leeuw Band

On 3 September 2026 the Leif De Leeuw Band will play at Musis Arnhem. Around guitarist Leif de Leeuw, the group has been carving out its own corner of blues rock and southern rock since the early 2010s, with a clear live focus on improvisation. The songs serve as starting points for extended instrumental passages: ’70s-style riffs link up with slide parts that carry an American blues signature, while the rhythm section keeps things tight and grooving. The vocals and twin guitar lines are given space without losing momentum.

On stage the set moves effortlessly between country-tinged ballads, instrumental pieces and more direct tracks that rely on interplay. The band operates as a close-knit formation with a stable core; that open structure translates live into flexible arrangements and spontaneous turns. Years of club and festival shows across Europe are evident in the long arcs of tension, the dynamic playing and the sense of build. An evening for lovers of themes that grow, fall apart and take shape again, with each solo as a new point of departure.
