"Birds of a Feather" are one of a kind. Two kindred souls who find peace in each other`s precence when everything around them is in turmoil. Their voices harmonize perfectly – one deep and calm, the other powerful and clear as a mountain lake. "Birds of a Feather" want to live life to the fullest, compromising on nothing. And their music isn’t either. Their lyrics couldn’t be more from the heart, their performance not more raw and heartbreaking.
"Birds of a Feather" is a brand new duo however, both members were already established artists. Along their musical journey they released two successful albums in collaboration with Warner Music Central Europe. They experienced many exciting adventures such as a duet with the legendary soul singer Seal.
They've performed hundreds of concerts in front of different-sized audiences, including several club tours and a German tour supporting "The Overtones". They were also lucky enough to play several stadium shows as an opening act for "Status Quo".
In 2014 Ryan Leon and Amy McKay dared a new beginning, a development of their music and their lifes after irreconcilable differences with their management. They had the increased desire to follow the path that would allow them to stay true to themselves.
In summer 2015 they recorded their first "Birds of a Feather" EP "Light Up" in inspiring cooperation with producer Ger McDonnell in Dublin. Upon releasing their first EP “Light UP”, the duo has toured Germany, Austria and The Netherlands and has played for over 5’000 listeners.
Their second EP “Rise Up” was released on March 24, 2017.
"The Birds" are ready to spread their wings and they can hardly wait to see where their songs and the wind will take them.

The band opened the evening with a set of stripped down versions of their most popular songs from all 3 albums: THIS TIME AGAIN, NOT A BAD THING, ELECTRIC FACE, THOSE GONE DAYS, HOW LONG, DAY BEFORE TOMORROW, SOONER OR LATER.
Blair Jollands is a compelling singer-songwriter with a 'country and eastern' sound. His compositions are cinematic in scope and call to mind aspects of Nick Cave's songwriting, Bowie's sound and Beck at his heartbroken best. As well as an ear for lush instrumentation, Jollands brings his award-winning sound design skills to his music, incorporating found sounds and samples into his productions. He has previously collaborated with Boy George and The Strokes producer Gordon Raphael, and released albums under his alter ego El Hula. Now, Jollands is preparing to release his most sincere and spellbinding album to date '7 Blood' with releasing a new song every month.

This energetic band plays a mix of timeless, classic, anthemic pop/rock/dance tunes with a funky twist.
BLOOD FIRE MOON are a three-piece psychedelic rock n’ roll band based in Amsterdam who mix riffs, melodies and mayhem to create a pumped up live performance. Bored by watching some of his favourite bands do bland live-sets and frustrated by the never-ending onslaught of EDM, Rikki Khanna (British/Indian) decided to start a band that would actually be more fun to watch than some bored indie muso or dick of a DJ.
Rikki (vocals, guitars) met South African Ryan Wolters (bass, vocals) in 2015 and decided to blend some of Ryan’s more punk and metal influences with Rikki’s rock n roll and indie background to see where it led them. And led them it did to endless rehearsals in the spit and beer soaked basements of Amsterdam’s Rock Supplies where they were joined by Kiwi drummer and all round musician Tim Hardie. They emerged from the basement to gig around Amsterdam including slots at The Water Hole and hold the dubious honour of being the last band to have played the C&C Muziek Café before the council shut it down.
In 2017 they headed into the studio with Producer Ilan Rom at the controls to record their debut EP featuring 4 of their earliest songs. The ‘Ready to Roll’ EP launched across all digital platforms in September 2017 and the band are busy supporting it with live shows. A full-length album is already composed and the band plans to record and release it in 2018.
Blue Sherlock was born in a piece of trash Toyota Camry on a roadtrip to the middle of nowhere.
A banger was blaring on the radio, Jeremy's hands were going a million miles an hour on the dash while Willem yelled a bit and played air guitar.
“Hey man, we should jam sometime.”
Since then, Willem and Jeremy have been concocting the dirty, delicious, bluesy funk that is Blue Sherlock. Living proof that the Blues is alive, well, and ready to kick your teeth in.
Bob is a band, an excellent band. A band in which the hormones are railing like crazy. As a result, there is a lot of love in this band. The love between the band members shows itself in the great interplay. Everyone is virtuoso on his or her instrument and they will show you.
