The sound of Savannah: versatile and setting good mood!

Two chords and the real listener immediately hears... This isn't just any band!   
And that's right, this is Savannah, an enthusiastic group of musicians who have been at the top of Europe since their start in 1986. The six band members feel each other flawlessly. You can see and hear that when they once again blow any audience away with their catchy and lived-in country music: Savannah's specialty! The band is very popular with Country Line dancers at home and abroad and it’s very true that Savannah is called the 'Most Popular Band of the Benelux' in its genre!
The sound of Savannah: versatile and setting good mood!

Savannah is at her best during live performances. They prove this at large and smaller festivals, in dance halls, at company parties, at fairs and the last 15 years with great pleasure especially in theaters, which gives them an excellently filled agenda. Together with Dick van Altena, Savannah is part of the very successful theatre production 'Back To The Country' and every year they attract more than ten thousand visitors to theatres in Belgium and the Netherlands! Every season they release a CD with 12 of the most beautiful songs from the show and 9 'Back To The Country albums' have already been released.

Highlights in Savannah's career are the many 'GRAM Awards' that the band received during various editions of the 'Dutch Country Music Poll Gala', organized by the Dutch Country Music Association (DCMA), Country Gazette and KRO Radio. The award is an audience award and Savannah received 'GRAM Awards' for the albums 'Side by Side', 'Love, me' and 'SAVANNAH' in the category 'Album of the Year'. Guitarists Peter Hill, Johnny Bernard and Joe Brozio have been named 'Instrumentalist of the Year' several times and the GRAM Award for 'Group of the Year' has been awarded to Savannah no less than ten times so far!

Savannah has worked with big names such as Johnny Cash, Freddy Fender, Wanda Jackson, Allen Frizzell, Bobby Bare, Ed Bruce, Buck Owens, Bellamy Brothers, Nikki Nelson, John Permenter, Dave Dudley, Buddy Jewell and very good friend Billy Yates. Especially with Billy they did many shows at Country festivals all over Europe and far beyond.
