JOHN GEERLINGS

At home John inhaled swing with every breath. Making music controls his life. He played drums in several bands with a wide range of styles. During the 80-ties he played in the well-known blues bands AVALANCHE and GRAND SLAM. Avalanche also acted as back-up band for famous American blues musicians such as Lowell Fulson, Eddie Guitar Burns, Carey and Lurrie Bell, and Phil Guy. With Avalanche he made 2 LP's: Reelin' with a Feelin' and Cruizin' and Boozin' and with Grand Slam 1 LP: Grand Slam. In the early nineties John was co-founder of a still successful New Orleans brass band The Honkers Brass Band in which he plays the sousaphone.  
He also played drums in the bluesband BLUE FEVER.
February 2006 he was asked by Patrick to play the drums in a new blues band. John went back to his old love, the blues, and                         was a fact.
