Sam Ghezzi is a dynamic multi-instrumentalist, singer, and bandleader based in Amsterdam with roots in blues, jazz, and rhythm & blues. He leads his own Sam Ghezzi Blues Band, delivering a lively mix of Chicago Blues and Jump Blues steeped in the swinging, electric styles of the 1940s and ’50s, with expressive vocals, tenor saxophone and harmonica adding real depth and character to the sound.

The music invites dancing, smiling, and genuine crowd connection, making this a fresh yet deeply traditional blues experience.
