Biography
Livin' Blues were a Dutch blues rock band from The Hague, formed in 1967 by guitarist Ted Oberg with singer Nicko Christiansen and harmonica player John Lagrand at its core. Their early albums for #Philips#, 'Hell's Session', 'Wang Dang Doodle' and 'Bamboozle', made them one of the top Dutch blues acts, touring across Europe. A second Oberg-led line-up made 'Blue Breeze' in 1977, and a Christiansen-led reunion recorded 'Now' and 'Snakedance' in the late 1980s.
