notes

Influenced by musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Chris Duarte, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Coen Wolters is regarded as a "big tone" guitar player. With guitar playing often compared to a combination Jimi Hendrix-Albert King, this Dutchman is a real crowd-pleaser at any blues or blues/rock venue, always bringing the audience to their feet and bringing them closer to the stage with his mean, grooving and honest riffs and licks. Because of his unrestrained love of playing in front of a live audience, his performances are always high energy. His guitar style is unique and emotionally charged, spiced with just a touch of Texas.

Born in the early seventies, Coen didn't begin playing guitar until age 18, but within a couple of years he was performing in local bands. His skills advanced rapidly, seemingly compressing years into months.
The early part of his career consisted primarily of playing in rock bands, but by the age of 24 he decided he had to pursue a heartfelt longing to play blues based music.

Coen used to be the front man of his previous band "The Parish" for two years with whom he recorded his debut CD "Dance On The Moon", which reviewed rave reviews in the American Blues Magazines.
After Coen's successful tour in the USA in the summer of 1999, where he signed a record deal with Crying Tone Records, he went back to Holland and formed a new band.

Coen is backed by drummer Nico Groen, who had his share of success with the international touring Blues band "Flavium" and ace bass player Michel Mulder.

The band just finished their official debut CD that's scheduled to be released in 2004.

The Band's repertoire consists of many original tunes and covers, but their unique sound puts a new spin on cover songs.

In November 1997, Coen performed at the famous "Bluestock" Music Festival on Beale Street, Memphis, Tennessee, together with well known blues artists such as Smokin' Joe Kubeck, Big Bill Morganfield (son of Muddy Waters), Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and others.

Coen, as an individual performer, has also shared the stage with great artists such as The Hoax, Paul Orta, Uncle John Turner, Blinddog Smokin', Nuno Mindelis and legendary Dutch guitar player Eelco Gelling.

  • Coen Wolters Band. The best thing 'quite literally' since sliced bread!
    author: john pearson

    Sitting here with a Stella Artois reflecting on the Christmas excessess. I'm listening to the Coen Wolters Band, Broken Glass. It simply is quite awesome, I normally dislike the word but in this case it is the only one that will do! Check out Suite 1210, PLAY IT LOUD. A really refreshing new slant on the standard Rockin R&B style. Thanks Coen when do we get to see you in the UK? p.s. Thanks cdbaby for a fantastic service too! The worlds industries could learn much from your mega efficient service.

  • Shades of Texas
    author: Twolongponies

    I am a long time listener of rockin' blues, having heard the more recent greats like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Wayne Sheperd, Jimi Hendrix, Clapton, and I could name a 100 more. But, this cd is a serious contender in rockin' blues music. I was firstly unimpressed with some of the vocals until I heard a story being told in somewhat nasal and really great rendition of 'The little Things you do'. This cd features fantastic and widely varied, highly charged guitar music, backed by a slammin' drummer and a smooth bass. Two songs were VERY reminiscent of a TEXAS Blues GR8 named STEVIE RAY VAUGHN. Looking forward to more from this rockin' Dutchman!!

  • He rocks me
    author: Alicia P.

    Coen is not only a sweet looking man, he charms the hell out of the strings, conjuring snakes of fire with his slick notes and PHAT sound. Oh, they will make comparisons, but this boy checks you out with a solid "o" on each of these tracks. I like "Time After Time" the best, but "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" is a close second... and I hear Winter Wind in the short and sweet "Ride The Katy". Buy this CD, lock the door, turn it up.

    A great CD! I'm not about to pretend I can review an album, but I do know what I like, and I like this! Great music! And I'm telling Everybody!

  • Unique blend of Blues, Rock and Techno, a must have.
    author: Walt Lange,

    The Coen Wolters Band's latest release "Broken Glass" with their unique blend of good ole down home Blues and classic Rock with just enough Techno to suit every taste, a must have for any CD collection. Add to that the lyricism of Lance Armstrong "Ride the Katy" and you have the perfect sounds to just sit back and enjoy or dance the night through. Coen Wolter's Band will keep your toe tapping and get you to humming along and just plain brighten your listening pleasure. I give "Broken Glass" my highest recommendation.

Dont Miss This One!

    Outstanding! Coen Wolters Band is sizzlin'. The track: Time after Time is Killer! 'Broken Glass' delivers the goods.

    author: michael /bluesmike

    once in awhile a cd arrives that you can't get enough of, great guitar, vocals, killer riffs, this is one of them!! He doesn't reinvent the wheel but he certainly tricks it out to make it his own style and make you stand up and take notice!! You actually hope that there is traffic just so you can listen to it again!! A lot of so called guitar slingers are out there, all claiming to have what it takes only to disappoint but THIS IS THE REAL DEAL! Do yourself a favor and get it, then spread the word!! If he ever gets to your area, see him!!
