Vanderveen, Ad
Beat The Record
Ad Vanderveen is one of Europes leading singer-songwriters in the new folk and roots genre. Although born a Dutchman (Hilversum, 1956) half his family are Canadian and its this part of the world his musical roots can be traced to. A collection of twelve songs penned over the past two years, recorded in an acoustic solo setting. This time Ad followed his muse so quickly and directly that his original demo recordings overtook the process of record making. The CD contains nine new original AV songs and three co-writes with Nashville natives David Olney, John Hadley and Thomm Jutz. Honoring timeless folk tradition, Ad focuses on the songs and their content, with arrangements and production left sparse.
