Daan - Crooner

Daan: intimate, acoustic, and refined For 30 years, Daan has been surprising his audience with a whirlwind of musical genres, from pop noire to indie rock, electro to country, beats & ballads, usually in English, but sometimes also in Frans of Nederlands. Anyone looking for the common thread in his work will be able to discover that all those songs have something in common; the often melancholic and at the same time humorous lyrics full of visual metaphors (Daan is, after all, a graphic designer) and a (storm and) urge to translate this into almost baroque musical paintings. This tour refines all his songs in the same musical way; Daan behind the grand piano or guitar, Isolde Lasoen, Daan's regular musical muse for 25 years, on vibraphone, drums, trumpet, bells, and angel vocals, and the virtuoso Jean-François Assy, known as a musician with, among others, Alain Bashung and William Sheller on his atypical cello. The more intimate halls with a seated audience give Daan the chance to get closer to the audience, and to take the time to share the stories behind his colorful life path and mysterious lyrics, through which the crooner creates a theatrical cabaret full of emotion and ecstasy. Every evening something just a little different happens, because Daan, in addition to his own repertoire of more than 300 songs, likes to interpret his favorite covers just as originally, as if they were his own children.
