Crooner - Daan

For 30 years, Daan has been surprising with a whirlwind of musical genres, from pop noire to indie rock, from electro to country, from beats to ballads. Mostly in English, but sometimes also in French or Dutch. Common thread? The often melancholic and at the same time humorous lyrics full of visual metaphors and a (storm and) urge to translate this into (almost) baroque musical paintings. Crooner distills all the songs to their essence. Met Daan behind the grand piano or on guitar, Isolde Lasoen (his permanent musical muse for 25 years) on vibraphone, drums, trumpet, bells, and angel vocals, and Jean-François Assy (known from, among others, Alain Bashung, Yann Tiersen, and Eric Cantona) on his atypical cello. In the intimate setting of our hall, Daan creates a theatrical cabaret full of emotion and ecstasy, larded with stories behind his colorful life path and his mysterious lyrics. Every evening just a little different, because Daan, in addition to his own repertoire of more than 300 songs, just as gladly interprets his favorite covers. For those who missed the Simple tour (CCHA, 2011) back then - or want to hear the sequel - Daan climbs back on stage this winter, with a new album. Crooner is the fifth passage of Daan, a regular guest in CCHA a decade ago, but now only for the first time again since 2015! piano, guitar & vocals Daan Stuyven / drums, vibraphone, trumpet, bells & vocals Isolde Lasoen / cello Jean-François Assy daan.be
