TEE, a.k.a. Marc Thijs, has been playing on the blues scene since 1986. He started out playing harmonica and singing in bands like THE FINSBURY PARK EMPIRE, THE SLIME HUNTERS, THE HEALERS and recorded with all of them. After switching to guitar he formed the more successful “THE ELECTRIC KINGS” , a major influence on many European blues bands. Meanwhile TEE has worked with many international touring acts on both European- and American ground.During his last eight months stay in the U.S. he recorded his first album under his own name.
The record gets rave reviews in… Rootstown, Back To The Roots, OOR, and… national radio shows like DR. Boogie, Roots 66 and PILI-PILI. TEE stands out by singing and playing the blues so intense that more then once listeners mistake him for a coloured blues shouter from times long gone! Again you can ask the question “can white man play the blues?” It just might be you will get the answer to it right here! His steady 6-piece band holds some of the finest bluesplayers on the scene today !
Marc TEE, blues guitarist extraordinaire, newly arrived from Belgium, knocked the house down with his fat sound … “ NO HO NEWS ( L.A. California ) “
… Tee is a strong guitar player and a great songwriter, … his voice, which sounds black as can be, is his secret weapon. He swings like the greatest blues shouters …”...
