Dutchy + Musician in Pella, IA

ABOUT

Taking a break from playing music all together. Not available until further notice.
_______________________________
I've been serious active as a musician since I was 18 years old and have been performing since. I've made several recordings and albums with different bands throughout the years; Dan Conklin and the Regulators, Jason Kinney Band, Don Collins and Firecreek and Chase Robinson and with Deetoxx back in the Netherlands.

Since I've been in the USA I also had the honor to open up for Gary Allan (2007), Luke Bryan (2011), Cody Johnson (2015), Cole Porter/Porter Union (2016), Reckless Kelly (2016), Whitey Morgan and the 78's (2017) and 3x with Cody Canada and the Departed (2017 and 2018) (formally known as Cross Canadian Ragweed).

The music/mp3's, 'Hush' was recorded in the Netherlands with DeetoxX and 'The south is gonna do it again' was recorded here in Missouri while playing I was playing for Don Collins and Firecreek, the track "Bar Fight" is an original and was recorded with a local artist/singer/songwriter, Chase Robinson, Use Me and Seasons Change were recorded during a live performance with the Jason Kinney Band, and "What Would Waylon do" and "Goodbye", are orignials that were recorded live while with Dan Conklin and the Regulators. I also played for Desi Hickman. In 2017. I started hitting the skins for the Mason Dixon band out of Springfield MO, and did that until 12/31/2020, as we moved to Pella, IA.
Looking for a band to join. I'm also very willing to start a new project, as long as we're on the same page.

I'm a very easy going guy, straight forward, a strong team player that wants to play and perform, and always tries to make the product better.
