Finally, some details about the show
It's a seated concert in the recording studio
We are playing as a 4 piece (guitars/pedal steel/percussion, bass & vocals)
We will be playing material from earlier records as well as material from the upcoming new album that was recorded during the "Working Musicians" campaign you supported. And, we will also be doing some brand new never performed material! All of it is being recorded, filmed & streamed live
There is a bar and refreshments available
It should be heaps of fun!
DOORS OPEN: 19:00
SHOWTIME: 20:00

Location & ParkingStudio 150 is in the Bethlehemkerk in Amsterdam-Noord
It is 200 metres walk from NOORDERPARK METRO station
There is quite a lot of free parking in the vicinity although the neighbourhood that the church is in is residential with typically small streets and it may be tricky getting a park there, though not impossible
5-10 mins walk away is a supermarket complex on the Motorkade (Dirk vd Broek & Jumbo)
Plenty of parking behind Dirk vd Broek and in front of Jumbo - and it's free!

I hope all this helps!
Looking forward to seeing some of you on Sunday!

Just giving all you wonderful patrons of our music a heads-up!! On Sunday afternoon, November 6 we will be giving a very unique live concert in the Bethlehemkerk Studio 150 in Amsterdam-Noord. This is a one-time opportunity for you to see us play live in a professional recording environment, performing the music you helped fund us record, and presenting the work of our new album. Some of you donated €100 or more, which makes you eligible for FREE entry. The rest of you are of course welcome!! Save the date!! Limited seats available!!

Hi everyone - the Working Musicians project album "Star & Country" that you donated money for is getting awful close to the finish line! You will all be receiving links to rough mixes very soon! In the meantime, I have made another episode of my STORY SONG TIME WITH DAN series. It was filmed earlier this week on the Macleay River where I grew up in Australia. Yes...I finally got home to see the folks and old friends. I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed making it. Not long now till more new music. Thanks for your continued support! Dan

You guys are probably wondering where the album is right? Don't worry it's on its way but the release needs time and planning! We are planning to release 3-4 tracks digitally in the period January 2022 to July 2022. The full album will be released in all formats (digital and physical) in September 2022. That feels like a long way off I know but it isn't really. We need the time to arrange shows, engage booking agents and other industry partners and to make release plans etc. In the meantime - ALL of you who donated will be getting links to the new songs and album WAY BEFORE its official release. You will also be receiving the other items your donations make you eligible for. I'm hoping to be able to get all of this, or most of it, to you in January. If you have back catalogue as part of your reward (old CDs & vinyl from past releases) and you want it sooner rather than later - just send me an email at [email protected].

Just wanted to let you all know the status of the album. After the sessions in Studio 150 there was still quite a lot of work to do; deciding what takes/recordings to keep and direct energy towards and what to abandon, adding little things here and there, editing, preparing tracks for mixing etc. All of these steps involved much work from the musicians who you have supported with this project, so thanks again for enabling me to pay them properly! We took our time (months!!) because the decisions you make, especially about which passes to get behind as a group, can go wrong when rushed. The litmus test is that each track needs to be able to stand the test of time. The ones that do are the "keepers" . And you need time to allow that process to run its course so we made time! I've just delivered the last of the tracks to Zlaya Loud who has mixed and mastered my last 2 records. He takes his time as well....we all like taking it slow....theres no reason in the world to rush any of it...you will all be getting links to the 1st mixes as soon as they come back. More later. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your donations !!! The counter is now at 107%. The Prins Bernhard Fonds and Provincie Gelderland suddenly jumped in and picked this project out as worthy of support and this got us over the line. But YOU GUYS started the ball rolling!! I now have the means to pay my fantastic musicians proper rates for their work on this album. In a time when musicians are really struggling to make a living from their profession this means a lot to me. There are 6 days left - any extra funds that flow in from now on will go towards promotion and other production costs. Thanks again!!

Thanks so much for your donations! We are at 30% with 21 days to go so feeling confident but we need you to act as ambassadors of the project and spread the word. Please share with anyone you feel might be interested. You can do this by sharing our posts on social or by simply forwarding the voordekunst.nl link to friends.
