About Us:
JD began playing guitar at the age of five. He took private lessons from Jack Devuyst cause Jurgen was to young for music school. Two years later he finally could go and his teacher there was the well known Armand Coeck. ( A master in classical guitar and a classical music composer.) A few years later (age 11) he started his first band 'The Young Byrds". They brought a record out and JD's musical story continued... After touring with the Young Byrds as teen stars they all went their different ways but Jurgen stayed faithful on the music path with his guitar. - 1978: JD visited, at the age of 7 (with his parents), his family in Canada. That year became one of the most important turning points in his guitar playing. He learned about "Picking" and "Country music"! Back in Belgium he searched for information about the most known guitar picker at that time: Mr. James Burton. - 1985: JD changed the band's name into 'The New Byrds" and worked with some other musicians. - 1986 - 2003: Playing with different musicians and music styles his playing became a mixture of Classical picking' style and modern hybrid picking' with Country-,Blues-,Rock- and even Jazz influences. -2009/2010: JD is still touring with his best friends: Rudy, Jack and Pat as "The Roadliner Band" .
