Ever since I could play an instrument, I’ve been playing in numerous bands & projects in all kinds of musical styles and line-ups. Live and studio, original music and (pop/jazz)standards. Read about my current bands HERE.
Below are some of my previous bands:
21 Eyes of Ruby
My main band for 7 years (2006-2013). Started out as an indie rock trio, evolved into a heavy prog rock monster. Me and lead singer Antoine Pütz did almost everything ourselves from composing and recording our music to releasing our albums and managing the band. I’ve learned so much from this time: songwriting, instrument skills, producing, video editing, graphic design, and so on. I’m still very proud of all the music we’ve created!
Full discography can be found on Spotify but can also be downloaded for FREE at Bandcamp.
Waking Skies
Alternative pop-rock from Utrecht (2015 – 2018). Originally dubbed ‘De Band Van Van Der Lende’, being the ‘house band’ of 3FM DJ Frank van der Lende’s broadcast show on Dutch national radio. Mind you, this was a night show! Self-titled EP “Waking Skies” can be found HERE.
Mad Men Music Group
Mad Men Music Group is a high-skilled collaboration of professional musicians with decades of experience and thousands of performances under their belt. Formed out of the Netherlands in 2018, the Mad Men have performed at numerous events including concerts, cover shows and festivals. The band is known for its funky and upbeat performances that spread across various genres such as jazz, soul, rock and disco to name just a few.
Comprised of up to 18 members including multiple vocalists, percussionists, bass, guitar, keyboard, a horn section and a DJ; the Mad Men are certainly not limited in their range or their style. The group also writes and produces original music for the band and for the artists of active music management, in addition to performing songs within their expansive list of covers.
Lunar Orchestra
Musical project of Dutch composer & arranger Jos Heutmekers: a jazz big band with an all-star line-up, playing his original compositions.
Anne Stockman Quartet
Jazz quartet of singer and dear friend Anne Stockman.
DrummerMartijn Project
DrummerMartijn Project is (obviously) Martijn Soeterbroek’s own band. This group of young, talented musicians will bring a cutting edge musical blend of jazz, fusion, pop & prog rock. Expect an energetic live show, full of original compositions, dazzling solos and tight grooves!
