Sonny Hunt .

The first gig of Han was February 1979 in Lichtenvoorde, a gig that he will never forget. His first band, very young and probably not so good, but the crowd went crazy so that was Rock & Roll. Since then there´s nothing much changed. Han started playing in a blues oriented rock band and still (classic) rock and blues are the mainstream music styles of the bands he is playing in since. Between 2005 and 2009 Han was a member of the Tony Spinner band and toured with this band through Holland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Denmark and Sweden. They also recorded 2 albums. The time he wasn´t on the road with Tony,  he joined the heavy blues band called Rob Orlemans & Half Past Midnight.

Since 2007 he is the heartbeat of the blues-rock formation Sonny Hunt & The Dirty White Boys. In October 2007 they recorded the album The Nashville Blues Sessions at the Creekhouse Recording Studio in Nashville Tennessee and did some tours in Holland. During the last tour of Sonny Hunt & The Dirty White Boys in 2010, the band invited 2 young guitarists Rory and Leif and there was chemistry right from the start. After the tour Leif asked Han to join the Leif de Leeuw band and Han accepted the invitation. As from November 2010 Han is officially band member of the blues rock formation the Leif de Leeuw band.

Dick was interested in music from the day he was born. During his first crying sessions as a baby he developed his bluesy voice and when he grew up his lifestyle helped him with the rest of the development. Dick is not only a vocalist but he also plays the bass. Probably because bass playing and singing are a good match. In 1996 he released his first album with The Dirty White Boys called Just a Dirty White Boy. A year later the live album The DWB Alive and Kicking at The BBC followed. The period after the live album was filled with touring and in between he was working as tour manager for Dick Dale, Nils Lofgren, Mothers Finest, Tony Spinner, to name a few. Lightning designer for Helloween, Anthrax, Jeans, and many more.

Guitar and bass technician for several artists like Joe Stump, Jack Bruce, Alvin Lee, Pat Travers, Tony Spinner and many more. In 2004 Dick released the album Love & Affection From My Soul and four years later the album Captain Heartbeat Live. At that moment he was also tour manager for the Tony Spinner Band with Sonny Hunt and when Sonny needed a band to perform his own shows Dick had the solution, Sonny Hunt & The Dirty White Boys. In 2007 Sonny Hunt and The Dirty White Boys recorded the album Nashville Blues Sessions in Nashville. The album was released in January 2008 and a DVD was recorded at the Culemborg Blues Night.
When Dick is not on the road with Sonny he is touring with other artists, as a tour manager or bass player.

When Rory, at the age of 10 years, started playing the guitar it soon came clear that this was no joke. For hours and hours he practiced and in no time he played songs of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. On high school (Music Academy) he developed his talent and showed great interest in all kinds of music styles. Also in this period he starts writing and composing songs, which in 2007 led to the release of his first cd “Musical Journey”. This instrumental fusion/jazz cd received beautiful reviews in MusicMaker and Musicfrom.nl
In the following years Rory becomes a widely asked session musician.
There is no time left for his own instrumental music but one of the things he had to do was joining the Steve Vai Naked Tracked Awards in 2010. He wins this competition with his own version of The Crying Machine. This was a great experience and of  course meeting his great hero Steve Vai was something he will never forget.
Further he plays with artist like Tony Spinner, Bobby Kimball, Xander de Buisonjé, Lodewijk van Gorp and many many others. Also since several years he is touring with his good American friend and guitarist, Sonny Hunt.
Playing many different styles of music is of great value and very instructive and besides this, it is a very pleasant period with a lot of fun.
In December 2011 he plays the support act of fusion giant Jeff Lorber. Since a long time Rory played his own instrumental music again with his band and it was a great success!
Also he joins the band of singer Jenny Lane. A club tour in Holland and radio shows follow upon the release of her new album in September 2011.
Meanwhile Rory is 22 years old and blood is thicker than water. You can find him is his studio composing songs again. Not only he works for other artists but also songs for what he calls: “my own project”. This time it will be songs with vocals. It may take some time till results can be heard but knowing Rory, it will be worth waiting for! 

Leif started playing the guitar when he was nine years old. That was just a few years ago given the fact that he is 15 years old at this moment. His father took him to a concert of Johnny Winter in 2006 and from that moment on the blues was part of his musical life. His talent developed quickly and other bands began to notice. He was asked to be guest guitarist by several bands like: Radical Roosters, Brad Snyder, Bluesmotel, F.O.G Blues band and Sonny Hunt. In 2009 Leif won the Sena Guitar Awards and the jury was impressed by his style, technique and expression. When Sonny Hunt came to Holland for a tour in 2010, Leif was asked to join the band. Leif said yes and a unique blues rock formation was born.
