Daan - CROONER

For thirty years, Daan has surprised his loyal audience with a whirlwind of musical genres, from pop noire to indie rock, electro to country, beats, and ballads. Usually in English, but sometimes also in the Frans of Nederlands. Whoever goes looking for the common thread in his work discovers in this theater tour that all those songs have something in common; the often melancholic and at the same time humorous lyrics full of visual metaphors and a (storm and) urge to convert this into almost baroque musical paintings. This tour distills all his songs in the same musical way; Daan behind the grand piano or guitar, Isolde Lasoen, Daan's permanent musical muse for 25 years, on vibraphone, drums, trumpet, bells, and angel singing, and the virtuoso Jean-François Assy on his atypical cello. The intimate halls with seated audiences offer Daan the chance to get closer to the audience. He takes the time to share the stories behind his colorful life path and mysterious lyrics. Thus, the crooner creates a theatrical cabaret full of emotion and ecstasy. Every evening something just a little different happens, because Daan interprets his favorite covers just as gladly and originally as his own repertoire of more than three hundred songs, as if they were his own children.
