From the first gig The Three Farmers Boys spread out through Europe an played every year about 80 á 90 gigs every where. 2009 they put out a album with two live radio gigs, the album just called "The Three Farmers Boys - radio shows". In the summer of 2012 they went into the studio to record for "Tombstone records", but the record was not released by "Tombstone records" cause of some business issues, so The Farmers decided to release it they're selfs in 2014, the album is called "Jamboree Baby" an had great reviews all over Europe.
The Three Farmers Boys are: Farmer boy Roel Huizinga picks his Doghouse bass with all his heart an soul. He is really the heart of the rhythm section.
He's a cat that plays also on records of other rockabilly artists an jumps sometimes with them on stage. The Lead guitarist Farmer boy Gert Top, is also know by his great guitar pickin' sound an well known in the Rockabilly scene. Writes his on music an did lots of giggin' around Europa with other rockabilly bands.
