CCC Inc.

The first and oldest americana band of the Netherlands!

Friday 4 September 2026

CCC Inc. was the first americana band in the Netherlands and is now also the oldest. From the pop festival in Kralingen in 1970 and Pinkpop in 1971 to Pinkpop Classic in 2013, and from the opening of Paradiso in 1968 and the Melkweg in 1970 to the summer pop festival in Meerlo of 2024. In other words: from youth center to stadium, CCC Inc. has experienced it all. Meanwhile the members of the group have also made their mark elsewhere in music. As directors of Paradiso and the National Pop Institute, and of course as founder and musicians of the group Doe Maar, the biggest sensation in Dutch pop history.

It is a joy to see the four friends from the first hour, now well over 75, making music together. With the same passion as in their youth and just as contrary. Because, although very successful in the circuit with always sold-out halls, the radio never played a note of the band, and the gentlemen are proud of that. Thus, given their age, each performance will again be an exciting and sensational affair and the audience will no doubt ask themselves: will they make it?

CCC Inc. consists of:

Joost Belinfante (violin, harmonica, guitar, vocals)

Jaap van Beusekom (banjo, dobro, autoharp, vocals)

Ernst Jansz (piano, washboard, guitar, vocals)

Huib Schreurs (harmonica, concertina, vocals)

Jan Hendriks (guitar, vocals)

Richard Wallenburg (bass guitar, vocals)
