T's Bluesfriends

T's Bluesfriends was formed in 2022 by keyboardist Thomas Waßkönig (formerly of Grobschnitt), who teamed up with guitarist Udo Dinkelbach to focus on blues and blues-rock. The lineup grew to include singer Rita van Nek, bassist Gerhard Treutler and drummer Werner Oskamp; since 2025 saxophonist Jess Köpke has completed the band, supported as needed by trumpet and trombone. Their repertoire spans Joe Bonamassa and Gary Moore to Beth Hart and Keb' Mo', as well as the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and Joanne Shaw Taylor.
