When semi-professional musicians come together, magic fills the air
Joël van der Mijl / Drum & percussion
Joël grew up surrounded by music and picked up the drums at the young age of ten. His family was deeply rooted in the church, where gospel music played a central role. For many years, Joël was an active part of that vibrant musical community—until he chose to trade pews for pubs, beginning a new journey performing on small stages across the Netherlands. While still playing in a solid top2000 band Joël searched for more gigs and joined XMB. The experience Joël brings to the band forms a solid foundation to elevate every song. Whether he's playing softly with brushes or hitting hard with his signature thundersticks, Joël delivers dynamic and expressive drumming across the full spectrum. A true master of drums and percussion—an all-around killer on stage!
Rob Thomasse / Bass
Rob is packed with band experience. A true multi-instrumentalist, he plays guitar, drums, and piano—but it's the bass where he’s truly found his groove. More then 45 years of music in his bones he started out in bands at a young age.While his roots are firmly planted in Rock and Pop, Rob has a deep love for Blues and Country as well. With a clear and down-to-earth way of communicating, he's often the one to keep things musically on track. His years of experience shine through in the sounds the band creates.
Rob brings a big, fat groove to every performance, sending out his passion for live music with every bass note rumbling through the PA. With an open mind and a solid approach, he's a steady force in the team. On stage, Rob not only locks in the groove but makes sure everyone’s having a great time—fully enjoying the magic of playing music together.
Xavy Martin / Vocal & Guitar
Xavy has a deep connection with Blues and Country Blues. He started out as an electric guitarist, tearing through solos at jam sessions with raw energy. But when his kids were born, things changed & he turned to acoustic fingerstyle guitar at home. Over time, that delicate style blended naturally with his blues roots, and eventually, he found his voice and began singing. With over more then 100 songs he has written in different styles Xavy knew he'd front a band one day, creating something truly special. That vision is becoming clearer with every performance. Audiences who catch Xavy live quickly realize: there's talent playing the six strings.
With his big hands and long fingers, he delivers intricate, expressive guitar work you rarely hear in your average pub or bar. Boom-chick country, harder rock solo's or smooth layed-back bluesy licks Xavy loves to do all! So get ready—when Xavy steps up, you're in for a night of some real guitar magic.
