BAS VERBEEK (NL)
Former male model, journalist, artist avant la lettre and a comedian all combined in one person: Bas Verbeek (b. 1983). His musical performances are always different, but never boring. As part of the now legendary group The Jim Morrisons he became notorious for his in-your-face stage presence, which consisted of attacking the audience. No more time for being the pretty boy: it’s show time.

Bram Stadhouders (b. 1987) is a jazz guitarist and composer from Tilburg, The Netherlands, currently living and working in Berlin, Germany.

His own talent, both in playing the guitar as in improvising music was recognised in 2008 when he was elected the most promising improvisation talent of The Netherlands, a very prestigious price for up and coming musicians. His music is very atmospheric, meandering in between free jazz, ambient and classical composed music.
