Dieter van der Westen Groove Trio brings bluesy and soulful Americana to the stage that brings a theatre as well as a BBQ garden party to life. Energetic authentic songs written and composed by Dieter van der Westen and performed with drums, Double Bass guitar/ and vocals. Think of a blend of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits and Michael Kiwanuka.

Dieter van der Westen brings Groovy Americana combined with folk-soul songs all from the hand of the Amsterdam based artist himself. After the well received debut album Old Oak Tree (2016) and the band album Me and You (2018), the Dieter van der Westen band has developed into a solid, Americana, folk and Blues Soul act in the Dutch and Flemish live scene. In the lee of the corona period, Dieter recorded the acoustic duo album The Sun Will Rise Again together with his brother Eric van der Westen and their new band album Honesty of the Hopeful, which they presented in Paradiso Amsterdam in 2022. Lust for life magazine quoted: "12 catchy American-style songs with a positive undertone, but once again Dieter's lived-in voice is the strong asset."
And "Damusic judges: “We can only say that this album can cross the ocean without blushing.”
The energy on stage and the shared love for authentic Americana, Folk and World gives the Dieter van der Westen Band its unique character.

In the Netherlands Dieter worked with BLØF, The Lau, Frank Boeijen, Paul de Leeuw, Gerard van Maasakkers and the Grammy-winning Metropool Orchestra. Dieter was support act of the world famous band Calexico and played double bill show with Sam Outlaw and Charley Crocket.
