The great musical inspirations ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to Barbra Streisand and from Stevie Wonder to Gladys Knight
In 2019, Karin Bloemen first played an 'old school musical theatre tour' together with the Old School Band, entitled 'Billie, Aretha, Norah, Amy... Karin!' She enjoyed doing this so much and it was also such a great success that there had to be a sequel.
In this show, she once again goes in search of the great musical inspirations, ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to Barbra Streisand and from Stevie Wonder to Gladys Knight. The repertoire of these greats has been rearranged and made 'her own' by Karin and the band. There will also, of course, be a number of new pieces of their own.
The Old School Band cannot be better described than in an American review: "For those who love a good old school band; a tight no-nonsense grooving ensemble with funk-driven bass and drums, a wizard on keyboards and an extraordinarily tasteful guitarist with his own signature sound, then go no further than Dutch guitarist Marnix Busstra's Old School Band."- Huffington Post, USA
