Camping In The Park With Happy Camper

Earlier this year you could already read about Job Roggeveen's special project Happy Camper. The musical project keeps groing and after the successfull release of its album and a theater tour he will be playing the Lowlands festival as well later this month. His performance today in the Vondelpark is a good warm up.

After many days of rain it finally clears up and we're treated to some well deserved sunshine. Not all guest vocalists can make it today due to full schedules and business elsewhere but still Janne Schra (Schradinova), Leine, Ricky Koole, Marien Dorleijn (Moss), Bouke Zoete (The Kevin Kostners) and of course David Pino with his own Volunteers are present and that makes quite an impressive list. Troubadour Case Mayfield is filling in as well.



The only one missing today seems to be yeti Manfred but he keeps missing the boat a lot. And so with this nice weather, cold beers and wine, great musicians and good vibes this turns out into a great camping trip. I left the park as a happy camper myself anyway.

A Day In The Park With Case Mayfield And Dazzled Kid

Every year in the summer the Vondelpark in the centre of Amsterdam has a great program of comedy, music and dance in the weekends. Unfortunately due to our busy schedule we can only make it a few times. But we were glad we could make it Sunday to see Case Mayfield and Dazzled Kid

I won't post an actual live review since that doesn't fit these performances in the park. The idea is to relax and enjoy the nice performances. And maybe people passing by will stop to watch and discover something new. They were really lucky today to see two great musical acts.



First up for us is Case Mayfield. This singer/songwriter made a big impression on me the first time I saw him play. His great voice, shy appearance and the way he is singing his heart out make his beautiful songs stand out even more. My favourite song 'Louise' gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. Go see him when you get the chance and download his latest EP (and pay for it!). You won't regret it.

Dazzled Kid is the one to close the day. Tjeerd Bomhof is singing in his usual manner, maybe not chatting as much. But that's because he's so happy and impressed to be playing in his home town according to himself. It doesn't really matter since the vibes are good and the weather cooperative. When he has to end his performance because otherwise "some lawyer living near the park will start complaining" they play one more song acoustically ending this great afternoon in a perfect way.
