Rowwen Hèze is a dutch band with frontman Jack Poels from the southern province Limburg in The Netherlands.
The band is well known for its poetic lyrics and partysongs in the Limburg dialect. They’re strongly influanced by tex-mex and polka music.
Many of the lyrics picture mundane items, like a young bird falling from a tree, a famous person in the village, a funeral, praying to find a missing item, the local bar or just waking up with a hangover. Fortunately there is quite something more behind these lyrics. They go deeper than people might think.
The band was founded in 1985. Jack Poels joined a band who called themselves ‘The Legendary Texas Four’, who were looking for a new frontman. Poels joined them on one condition; He wanted to play one song in the local dialect of Limburg. The other members agreed and Rowwen Hèze was born.
Rowwen Hèze got their name from a local person, Christiaan Hesen, who got the same nickname. Roughly translated, this nickname means ‘Rough Hesen’. Under this new name, the band started covering songs from Thin Lizzy. The band also wrote dutch carnaval songs every year.
The band saw two members leave through the first years. Mart Deckers (drums) and Geert Hermkes (accordeon) left the band.
In 1991 the band existed of:
- Jack Poels (lead singer, guitar)
- William van Enckevort (accordeon, piano, trombone)
- Jan Philipsen (bass)
- Theo Joosten (guitar, mandoline, tin whistle, percussion)
- Jack Haegens (trumpet, trombone, percussion)
These are still the current members of the band.
