Elewout De Raad was born in 1971 in Groningen, Holland. At the age of 6 he started taking classical guitar lessons. At the age of 8 he developed an interest for bluegrass music and got his first western guitar which he still uses today. At the age of 11 he started taking lessons from Teije Wijnterp, a rock and flamenco guitar player, who inspired him to figure out music from records by ear. The first song he figured out was Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Other records by different blues and rock players followed. At this time he started playing in different bands and picked up jazz/rock influences from a drummer he played with for a few years. In 1993 he went to a conservatory and studied jazz music. At the time that he played top-100 music in different bands he hooked up with Hendrik Mulder, a drummer with a lot of the same musical influences with whom he started the Elewout De Raad Project. In 2003 they recorded their first album "The Cross", an instrumental jazz-rock CD.

ELEWOUT DE RAAD SPEAKS OF HIS "TRUE STORIES" (2023) RELEASE:

In my compositions and improvisations I always try my best to tell an authentic story that will take the listener along in my musical journey.

The aspect of the infinite greatness of God is definitely something that always inspires me when writing and playing music in which I try to avoid clichés.

While creating new material, sometimes inspired by vivid musical dreams, inspiration can take over and the composition sometimes seems to be writing itself.

“True Stories” is the title track of the album. The different parts of the composition are like chapters of a longer story.

The complexity in my music is not an end in itself. It is the spontaneous unforeseen combinations of Harmony Melody and Rhythm that seem to stretch my imagination as a kind of trinity to eventually arrive at surprising creations in which, in an organic way, odd time signatures, colorful chord progressions and beautiful melodies can go hand in hand.

Being able to play the composed parts and improvising over the chord changes does challenge me and my fellow musicians to grow musically on sometimes still untrodden roads.

Music that I have drawn inspiration from in the past include the repertoire of Allan Holdsworth (“Allan” is a tribute to the British guitar legend who passed away in 2017) ... , Frank Gambale and Steve Vai and many others.
