Event details: Dutch guitar player Jan Akkerman (1946) did almost anything a musician could possibly do. He worked with many different musicians like BB King, Charlie Byrd, Cozy Powell, Claus Ogerman and Ice-T, besides being a former member of international acclaimed bands such as Brainbox and Focus and made more than a dozen solo records that showed his versatile playing without any boundaries or limitations. Whether it's ‘Tabernakel' (1973), the famous guitar-in-bed album ‘Jan Akkerman' (1977) or his most recent studio outing ‘CU' (2003), he explores and combines elements of rock, jazz, blues, classical or modern dance music and give those his own signature.

Seeing Jan Akkerman live in concert is always a refreshing and fascinating never-to-be-repeated experience. Being an authentic improvisator he shows his maximal capability and, during band gigs, shares his affection on guitar with band members Coen Molenaar (keyboards), Wilbrand Meischke (bass) and Marijn van den Berg (drums). What would be his next challenge?
