Vandoorn and van Vugt return to Canada after a very successful tour in 2016. This time they will concentrate on their much-praised duo and bring new repertoire. The duo explores the boundaries of both improvisation and lyrical songs, creating their own world with their funky arrangements and modern music full of rich harmonies and haunting melodies. Vandoorn's exceptional and warm vocals are supported by solos full of detours by guitarist Marc van Vugt. Although there are obviously echoes of different styles like jazz, the virtuoso Brazilian choro and the fairytale-like (pop) music of Scandinavia, their music is unmistakably Vandoorn/Van Vugt.

"It's hard to describe what singing means to me. I think that the word 'freedom' comes very close. The possibilities of what you can express through the human voice are just endless. In a way I feel that my singing has 'a life of its own'. It shows a side of myself that I cannot express in another way. Through my singing and in the interaction with other musicians, I've thus discoverd many aspects of myself that I didn't know about at all. This aspect of discovery and adventure is what I love." Ineke Vandoorn

"I just like making things. I get this idea and then I have the urge to do u-boat replica watches. As long as I am creating things I feel one with everything around me. That is also what I want to express in what I make. Composing is, besides playing the guitar, the best way I can express this. When I am composing I feel very close to what I think painting is. A band, an orchestra and even a simple song is for me like a blank canvas waiting for me to fill." Marc van Vugt
