Muziek op het Boschpodium

Monday 11 August: Gewoon Johan
Gewoon Johan wears many hats, but he feels most at home on the Markt of Den Bosch.
You can spot him there in the music video for “0,0” — his natural habitat. Earlier, he created an angry rap video about poor working conditions, and he made a music video to promote a youth subsidy scheme in the municipality of Den Bosch.
Since founding Stichting Jamkade, his life has revolved around music and creativity, with connection through music at its core. His performances blend spoken word, pop, rap, and rock ’n roll into a unique experience. Get ready for an extraordinary show from Gewoon Johan.

Tuesday 12 August: Jasper van Schaijk
A melancholic singer-songwriter with hope for the future. ‘vanschaik’ is the Dutch-language bedroom-pop project of Jasper van Schaijk. At the heart of his music lies the song itself, built around acoustic guitar and voice. Music made for campfires — personal and emotional. The perfect recipe for an intimate acoustic setting. Just a guitar, him, and you.

Wednesday 13 August: Joep Pelt
Joep Pelt is a true “guitar globetrotter.” Musically raised on the muddy banks of the Mississippi and the Niger by artists like R.L. Burnside and Ali Farka Touré, Joep often ventures far and wide in search of new musical ingredients.
Over the years, Joep has collaborated with artists from a wide range of genres. His eclectic guitar playing always serves as the link between different musical worlds.
Joep has released six albums under his own name and has played the North Sea Jazz Festival five times.

Thursday 14 August: Big Bo
Bo Brocken has been playing the blues with heart and soul for over 30 years.
With his raw, soulful voice, he accompanies himself on acoustic and electric guitar, steel dobro, cigar box guitar, snare drum, hi-hat, and bass drum.
In this one-man band setup, he performs his own songs alongside blues classics from the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, with a strong focus on pure and often obscure Delta Blues.
Emotional acoustic blues, lively ragtime, and gritty Delta blues — all performed with passion and enriched by virtuosic slide guitar and rudimentary fingerpicking.
