Hello dear peeps!

It's been a little while since my last post. We have been superduper busy and although the past months have been great, it's also nice to have some time off.
I look forward to spending the Holidays at home with my little family.

Hello everybody,

Since our webshop is shipping our latest album Live in Europe all over the world, I thought it would be fun to create a nice collage of pictures.

Dear peeps,

Perhaps as an unintended prediction I wrote in the liner notes of Live in Europe: 'not too many things last forever'. So here I am, telling you about a changing of the guards in my backing band.

I know Holland is a small country, but the first weekend we went from 'the far west' to 'the high north' and already drove many miles in our band van.
After having played 16 solo acoustic shows in a row opening for Anathema, I had lots of fun jumping around and rocking it out with 'my' guys ... (6 comments) Read more

Hello dear friends,

My solo supporting tour for Anathema is almost coming to an end, but what a great ride it has been! Thanks to my dear friends of Anathema and all of you who came to see us: it has been a truly wonderful experience.

Hi guys!

Half way into the Anathema tour, I found it was time for a little update.
First of all, let me tell you I am just so happy to be with these great guys. Every day is filled with lots of laughs and great music. I tell ya, the Anathema's are on a roll! Their gigs last at least 2 hours every night and their new album is amazing. I am enjoying it thoroughly. Also... (9 comments) Read more
