The Men From Nowhere are a group of musicians centered around ace guitarist Jelle van Atten (aka Joe Sixpack). Between 2022 and 2024 he recorded a great number of instrumentals with various lineups. 12 of these songs have been selected for this new LP The Men From Nowhere. Joe's international stage experience started many years ago, mainly within the rockabilly subculture. Earlier, with his band the Ragtime Wranglers he took an occasional side trip to a different musical genre. With his new recordings he expands and explores this trip. Important musical influences are the American acts he accompanied at various festivals around the world. These include The Collins Kids with guitar legend Larry Collins. For the recordings, Joe singularly hand-picked his musicians, all known for their versatility, virtuosity and technical skills. The variety of stylistic influences makes it impossible to link the album to one specific musical-genre, hence "From Nowhere". This eponymous album is a passionate statement for instrumental music and contains an eclectic mix of American roots styles including Surf, Country and Rock 'n' Roll.
