Performing live – BRIDGE Festival Eindhoven

Latest news

Very excited for next month – I’m playing the BRIDGE festival @muziekgebouw Eindhoven twice (May 11th and 13th 2023) which is probably the biggest guitar event in Europe!
I’m featured on the ‘Heroes’ evening with Martijn van Iterson and Reinier Baas.

My band is a bit different for this occasion:
Martijn Vink – drums (Metropool Orchestra)
Clemens van der Feen – bass (Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra)
Matthijs Geerts – keys

You can get your tickets for the ‘heroes’ evening here.

I’ll also perform there May 13th, doing a workshop at the guitar convention where I’ll discuss technique and setup.

Fun fact: I was asked to record the trailer for this event and played a couple of all-time favorite riffs. Can you name them all?

Performing on national tv at ‘Matthijs Gaat Door’

Latest news

I had a blast last weekend performing an ode to Chuck Berry playing ‘Johnny B. Goode’ on national tv at a show called ‘Matthijs Gaat Door’. Trading solos with Menno Gootjes, Jêrome Hol and Sonia Anubis, all within the steady groove of the Sven Hammond Big Band.

Also special thanks to an exceptional production team and technical team who are among the best and make you feel right at home and focus on the music.

“I guess you guys aren’t ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.”

The gig we did a couple of weeks ago, march 12, 2022, with Richard Hallebeek Project together with Scott Henderson and Frank Gambale was a huge succes. The venue was sold out! It was great fun meeting Scott and Frank again after many years. You can watch some pictures of the event here:
