The perfect way to get the evening started. Koeks, an international, but typically local artist that play accoustic versions of well known rock standards, will put you in just the right mood.
From silence to the first chords, the feeling that goes through the melodic lines, the richness of simplicity, the expression of the soul through lyrics and sound , intimate and engaging at the same time, this is the proposal of the Brazilian singer/songwriter Andrew Laureth.
Although still young, Andrew has an extensive experience in music, he began his career in 2003. After 10 years touring in Brazil and Europe, releasing two albums and many exhibitions in the media with his old bands, Laureth decided to fly greater heights.
The solo project began in 2011 with a “demo album”. Three years later he released "Janelas da Alma (Windows of the Soul)" ,that had featured in creditible international medias. This album brings hits like “The sun will come back”, “A vida é Bela” and “Alice”. From these songs were made videoclips that were shared by the famous brazilian website "Brasileiríssimos", reaching the milestone of more then 100,000 views on Facebook.
Tonight, Andrew performs his Pop- and Rock-covers acoustically.
'Zwoel.' is a band that started in the beginning of 2018 together is brought to you by musicians who already were performing for a long time with and wothout each other.
This group covers or edits songs, their influences go back to the 50's Rock & Roll and run through to the modern everyday pop and rock music. However, in the basic they are about music with attitude, a good groove and feeling. Interspersed with acoustic songs is 'Zwoel.' a band that offers their audience versatility and recognition.
The band Echoes Of Industry was founded in 2009 by Patrick Kusters (vocals, guitar, harmonica) and Rolf Bax (lead guitar) with the aim to cover popular rock songs. Soon William Verhoeven (bass, vocals) and Dirk Herman (drums) joined the band. Echoes Of Industry developed rapidly, especially after Paul van Dijk (keyboards) joined “The Echoes” expanding the repertoire to almost 100 songs.
With well-known covers of bands like U2, Dire Straits, Kings of Leon, Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Fleetwood Mac, R.E.M., The Cure, Simple Minds, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Police, Queen and many more, they reach a wide audience and are ideal for a rock edge on every event.
Steven&friends is, unsurprisingly, a group of friends that met on the Conservatory of Amsterdam and local jamsessions. They will bring you a great show with pop&soul-tunes that will leave you dancing, singing along or shuffle!
