To kick things off, Doncker is approaching the business from a new angle by implementing the project as a multimedia performance concert. He states, “We had been bouncing the idea of a blues” record around for awhile. A “hardcore” modern Blues record. Every time we discussed it The Wolf came up. Willie Dixon came up. Smokestack Lightning, Spoonful, Evil – on and on…The stories – so vivid, even today! We wanted to be a part of that lineage, that history. We wanted to tell that Same Ol’ Story one mo’ time…Our way! We felt the time was right.”
Tomás Doncker has and looks to continue influencing the careers of multiple performers across genres and generations. You can stream The Tomás Doncker Band’s current album, The Howlin Wolf, on bandcamp.com
