Remedy Road

Four high school friends from Goes, Jeroen van Zee (keys/guitar), Peter Kok (bass), Marcel Allewijn (drums), and Rob Commandeur (vocals/guitar), formed the blues band The Remedy in 2015. They started as a blues formation, playing their own versions of songs by blues artists such as Philip Sayce, Kenny Wayne Shepard, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Soon, they began performing at the so-called "Blues Routes" in Goes, Bergen op Zoom, Terneuzen, Vlissingen, and Middelburg. After a while, they received their first bookings for festivals like the "Drive-in Blues Giethoorn," Indoor Kwadendamme Blues Festival, and Blommenkinderfestival Roosendaal.

The band then decided to start writing their own songs, but this was a lengthy process due to the ongoing performances. During the "Corona time," there was a strong focus on finishing the EP. During this period, drummer Marcel Allewijn distanced himself from the band, and new drummer Sander Elderkamp (known from The Blue Clay and CC Jerome, among others) joined. This resulted in the release of the EP 'Take a Chance' in 2023, featuring five original songs (available for listening on Spotify). This release led to the band changing its name to Remedy Road. The EP marks the beginning of a long road to healing. In 2022, the songs were performed as a try-out at the Outdoor Kwadendamme Blues Festival.
