VanVelzen on Twitter: 'In the studio with the band, 3 days of pre production. The last 3 demos are taking colour and shape. After this we can really start recording.'VanVelzen and band are working hard on a new album! After weeks of writing in Holland, the US and Sweden all ideas finally took shape. Last week they went into the studio to produce definitive demos of the songs. These demos are being used to finalise the songs and ultimately make recording more easy to all involved. Now all demos are finished. Next stop: the recording studio!
So the album is not quite finished, but we'll keep you posted when it is almost done. One thing is clear, according to Jimmy (drums) it is going to be great: 'Now, 3 days of Shamrock Studios have past and they were very cool... We made some great music... The album is going to be really good!'
VanVelzenMusic on Twitter: 'I can die peacefully; played Tie Your Mother Down WITH Brian May #whooooooo'.VanVelzen and Queen guitarist Brian May played together onstage april 23th. May was in Holland to collect the Eddy Christiani Award, for his inspiring contribution to the development of the electric guitar. Players like Jan Akkerman and Steve Lukather went before him. VanVelzen and band were invited to perform during the ceremony. They accepted with honour, Brian May being a mayor musical hero of theirs.
VanVelzen kicked off with Queen's 'Save Me' and halfway through 'Don't Stop Me Now' May took the stage for his solo. After that VanVelzen and May played a stunning version of 'Tie Your Mother Down' together. Finally VanVelzen honoured his hero with his own rendition of 'Somebody to Love'.
VanVelzen, the band and the crowd went crazy. And Brian May? He wrote on his blog the day after: 'Special thanks to Roel and the Van Veltzen guys...for letting me disrupt their set. Their music definitely needs to be heard more in the UK.' Thank you Brian, so true! Let's hope the collaboration doesn't end here...
VanVelzen is about to start his first theatre tour! This autumn he will embark on a 34 dates tour to perform his 'Hear Me Out' show. Together with his band he plays his songs in the intimate setting of theatre, which gives VanVelzen the chance to tell the stories behind them. The 'Hear Me Out' tour is a unique theatrical experience filled with music and humor. And with hits like 'Baby Get Higher', 'Love Song' and 'When Summer Ends' you are sure you will get VanVelzen at his best! ...
VanVelzen is in the United States. In New York City VanVelzen is currently working on songs together with some other songwriters. At this time there is little more to tell you, but we will fill you in on things as soon as we can off course...
