With the Ze RRs he follows the tradition of rock drummers/ lead vocalists such as Levon Helm, Don Henley and Phil Collins.
Rémy
Rémy, is self-taught multi-instrumentalist (guitar, saxophone and flute) but his favorite instrument by far is the guitar. He also has extensive experience in the studio and as a live sound engineer.
He met Simon through playing in a band and they instantly clicked through a shared love of the “old school” way of approaching live music.
In Ze RRs, his fiery and inventive guitar solos are one of the highlights of the show and are guaranteed to blow you away!
Uwe

Pauline
Pauline has been playing piano since her youngest age but it was relatively late that she joined her first band.
Since then, she has widened her musical experiences and knowledge from playing in a wide variety of bands including duos, cover bands and bands playing original material.
However, it is in Ze Rockin’ Riffs that she plays her grooviest licks.
Mouna

She is a singer and percussionist and performs as an artist in her own right, singing the traditional Sufi repertoire from Morocco.
