The Hendrix Alive Project

The Hendrix Alive Project started back in November 2006 when Peter van Kouteren invited Eelco Bisschop to start a Jimi Hendrix cover band. He’d been looking around for the right musicians for years, but untill last year he couldn’t find anyone.

Eelco was enthusiastic about the plan, so they made a set list of more then 35 Hendrix songs to perform.
Soon after that Rob Meijran joined the band as drummer and the rehearsal sessions started. Within a couple of months they had their first gig in Ijmuiden which was immediately a big success. At present without doubt the leading Jimi Hendrix Tribute in the Netherlands. The band has got more or less the same sound as Hendrix himself and the live performances are wild, loud and rough.

Gigs and touring from North to South of the Netherlands, has polished the HAP, from a raw uncut diamond to a sparkling jewel amongst the Tribute bands. They are about to embark on their first ever British Tour and you can catch them on the following dates
