John the Revelator 40 years of ramblin’, stringbending, slidin’ and wailing. Back in 1966 future John the Revelator singer and bassman Tom Huissen lived in London at the time that the blues scene there exploded.He became pals with Peter Green and witnessed the first rehearsals of Pete’s then new band Fleetwood Mac. Immediately after returning in Holland Tom started to form a blues band modelled after Fleetwood Mac. John the Revelator took off immediately and extensively started gigging the Dutch and European blues circuits that were thriving at the time. After winning the prestigious Loosdrecht Jazz contest in 1970 record label Decca offered the band a recording contract resulting in the first album “Wild Blues”. Since then band has played all over the European continent, toured Australia and released many blues albums. In recent years John the Revelator has jammed with Peter Green, Snowy White, Chris Farlowe and a bunch of legendary Dutch blues guys. In 2018 the band will celebrate its 50th anniversary.
