Dear all,

We are slowly getting back to reality and realize that the first edition of Amsterdam Blues Exchange is now officially a fact. We want to thank you for trusting us and showing up. We want to thank you for your energy and enthusiasm. We want to thank you for sharing your moves and musicality. We want to thank you for your willingness to learn about blues music in every aspect. We can’t repeat too often how much we liked you all for making the festival such an amazing place to be.

Keep an eye at our social media channels for some cool pics and videos. We wish you some rest the coming days and we hope to see you somewhere someplace on the dancefloor or on stage 😜.

Love ABE team,
Lotte, Richard, Chris, Renske & Maja

On Sunday during the boat tour these two great musicians will accompany us and share their blues with us. 🧡🔥 Sam Ghezzi and Duved Dunayevsky are following in the footsteps of style of Jazz played in Paris in the 30’s, Sam Ghezzi on vocals and saxophone, and Duved Dunayevsky on guitar, propose an interesting repertoire of ancient bluesy tunes played as Django Reinhardt and his hot club would do.

Registration will close this Tuesday at midnight !!
We’re almost sold out but we still have a few spots for leaders. In you’re interested, please sign up asap :)

Are you ready for some 50s rhythm and blues? The Hi-Stakes, featuring their iconic frontman, Italian Blues singer, harmonica and saxophone player Samuele Ghezzi will rock our Sunday! The band makes the audience jump, dance and scream to Rhythm and Blues inspired by Little Richard, dream away to the sweet sound of Blues Ballads in the heritage of Percy Mayfield and shake your hips to the swinging songs in the style of a young Ray Charles.
