Hail Gewoon

**Hail Gewoon** was a Groningen-based boerenrock band formed in Loppersum during the 1980s by brothers Jan and Martin Stoter, along with Tamme Kamminga and Jan Smit. Known for their distinct regional sound, the group underwent frequent lineup changes over the years but remained active for decades, producing five studio albums and performing extensively across the Netherlands. Key members included longtime bassist Tamme Kamminga (present until their 2013 dissolution) and later additions like drummer Chris Slager and vocalist Ger Warink, who announced the band’s retirement after a period of reduced activity.

Their casual, folksy style resonated with local audiences, though specific details about their musical evolution or the cultural impact of tracks like *S.V.P.* or *’T is niks dunkt mie* aren’t documented in available sources. The band’s story reflects the grassroots energy of the Dutch boerenrock scene, anchored by core members who maintained their regional identity throughout their career.
