FAITH
We’re closing this season with FAITH, Zevenaar’s youngest musical sensation. Not necessarily young in age, as these seasoned musicians have been practising their craft for years. But playing together in this set-up is relatively new to them. The band started out in late 2023 as an acoustic and unplugged five-piece. Soon they yearned for more and these musicians through and through decided to plug in the amps again and adjust their line-up slightly.
The core of the band consists of singer Dennis Versluijs, now a household name in the region and far beyond, and his daughter Faith, lead singer, also known as the Nightingale of Zevenaar. They’re accompanied by Laurens Masbaitoeboen (guitar and vocals), Fred Reijers on keyboard and piano, Michel van der Doe (bass guitar) and drummer and backing vocalist Jos Veldhuis. All band members are from Zevenaar apart from bassist Michel, whose roots lie in Arnhem and Zeeland.
The musical symbiosis is the main thing and it is certainly excellent. FAITH plays very accessible covers that really swing. You’ll hear well-known songs, but will also be pleasantly surprised by flawlessly sung and sensitively played ballads.
A performance by FAITH is best described as an adventurous and intimate experience where you can dance and sing along loudly and which you won’t soon forget. Don’t miss it!
