Michael de Jong

About

Michael De Jong (Fontenay-le-Comte, France, 1945 - 10 March 2018) was a Dutch–American blues guitarist and singer songwriter. In the early days when he played with the Michael De Jong Band there were influences in his music by Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Jimmy Reed and other 1950s blues and rockabilly. Later he played (mostly solo) sober intimate songs using just a guitar and his hoarse worn out voice. He wrote about his struggle with life, about women ("Gods masterpiece"), love and the decay of society.
