With The Soul Of Country, Ricky Koole and Leo Blokhuis return to the theater with a joint performance.
After their performance on the exuberant music of New Orleans, Koole and Blokhuis explore the craft of country music in their new show. They search for the soul of the genre, for the songs that show the honest and vulnerable side of the singer without embellishment, the songs that tell it where it is.
In a time when AI can also write songs, Ricky and Leo find it precisely important to be personal in their stories with humor and enthusiasm. The reason why music is so important to them is precisely because it is made by people.
The Soul of Country is all about the classic "three chords and the truth": songs that have a simple musical structure, but sing of basic human emotions in beautiful melodies. Straight from the heart and soulful.
From familiar classics like "Jolene" and "Behind Closed Doors" to obscure gems of the genre, Ricky and the band play them animated and compelling, Leo provides surprising context. The Soul of Country offers a warm and surprising take on country music and through it is a plea for humanity.
