Crooner

For 30 years, Daan has been surprising his loyal audience with a whirlwind of musical genres: from pop noire to indie rock, electro to country, beats & ballads. Anyone looking for the common thread in his work will be able to discover 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 (Daan is a graphic designer after all) and a (storm and) urge to translate this into almost baroque musical paintings. This tour, Daan strips all his songs down 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 - known as a musician with, among others, Alain Bashung, William Sheller of Yann Thiersen - 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, creating a theatrical cabaret full of emotion and ecstasy. Every evening something slightly different happens, because Daan likes to interpret his favorite covers just as much & originally, as if they were his own children, in addition to his own repertoire of more than 300 songs. For those who missed the Simple tour at the time - or want to hear the sequel - Daan is climbing back on stage this winter, with a new vinyl & new songs too.
