March 4, 8 p.m. D'n Hiemel: bluegrass
THE COW POKES
The Bluegrass tradition is alive and well! This is partly due to artists such as Steve Earle, Allison Kraus and Dolly Parton, but also to the great success of films such as O Brother Where Art Thou and The Broken Circle Breakdown.
On Saturday 4 March, the music of the bluegrass trio The COWPOKES will fill D'n Hiemel at Bernardusstraat 24a in Maastricht.
Tickets: VVK € 15 (+ € 0.99), box office € 20 (doors open at 19:30)

Routines
The Cowpokes - the veterans Charly Jansen, Edwin Herkert and Peter Noppen - have been playing this traditional American folk, old-time country and bluegrass music for years.
In their own, original way they interpret the beautiful traditionals, often with Irish influences, with polyphonic vocals, guitar, banjo and mandolin.
native sounds
Singer and mandolin player Charly Jansen has lived in the US for many years where he mastered the 'native sound'. He toured Europe in bands like The Rough Riders, Parking Lot Pickers and Chicken Pie. Edwin Herkert is a very well-known banjo player, among others in the leading bluegrass band Groundspeed. Peter Noppen, singer/guitarist, also lost his heart to traditional American music years ago; he also plays in the country rock band Yeeehaa!
The Cowpokes scored highly at Holland's Got Talent in 2019 and they played at many well-known festivals over the years, such as Muddy Roots Europe (BE), De Zwarte Cross, EWOB Bluegrass and Mañana Mañana.
