Leo en Marius Blokhuis – Father and Son

6 February 2027
- 20:15 – 22:30

When Leo was thirteen, he received an old tube radio. Marius got his first electric guitar when he was thirteen. Father and son, they are both crazy about music.

In this performance, Leo Blokhuis delves into the phenomenon of father and son in pop music . Cat Stevens wrote the famous song about father and son, about the generation gap, while Peter Gabriel wrote a moving song about a father and son supporting each other. The story features well-known and lesser-known musical fathers and sons, such as Tim and Jeff Buckley, Jim and AJ Croce, Johnny and Shuggie Otis, Alfred, John, Julian and Sean Lennon, George (Tornados) and Matt (Muse) Bellamy.

Do they resemble each other, do they benefit from each other, is the relationship a blessing or a curse? Does the son stand in the shadow of the famous father, or does the father actually overshadow him? And how do they influence each other?

With whom better to delve into this subject than with his own son Marius, who plays guitar brilliantly and graduated from the conservatory in 2025. Leo’s inspiring stories are illustrated with Marius’ beautifully performed live songs and supplemented with music excerpts from Leo’s trusty laptop.
