Hello, I am Dirk-Jan aka Dear John, a singer-songwriter from Alkmaar with a passion for telling stories through music. With my acoustic guitar and voice, I bring an intimate, relaxed atmosphere perfect for weddings, birthdays, private parties or living rooms. My repertoire consists of a mix of my own songs - hopeful and uplifting - complemented by covers of my musical heroes such as Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Amos Lee.
My musical journey began as a singer in a band, then I found my own voice as a solo artist. For several years I performed together with my best friend Ruud Bos, a fantastic guitarist who added an extra dimension to my music with his virtuosity. Now I'm back on stage solo, with all those rich experiences in my backpack. Whether you've heard us as a duo before or are discovering me for the first time: my performances remain just as warm, personal and atmospheric.
My music touches people; they are songs that make you smile, warm your heart and leave a lasting impression. Whether you are looking for an atmospheric background sound or a performance that really grabs your
attention, I tailor my performance completely to your needs.
Does this sound like the atmosphere you're looking for? Let's create something special together!

The guys from Dear John were truly the Christmas on the cake at our wedding. They played 3 fantastic songs during our ceremony and then the most beautiful songs throughout our drinks. Besides being very good singers, they are very entertaining to have around. They mingle with the guests and you can see that they enjoy themselves as well Thanks guys! You exceeded our expectations (which were secretly already quite high). Unfortunately, we are not getting married again because we would have booked you again for sure ;-)

At our wedding, Dear John played in an indoor courtyard before and during the buffet. They fit perfectly into our festival setting and their beautiful songs were tremendously atmospheric! We received a lot of compliments on the live music :). Besides their great music, they are also two very nice guys with whom it was very easy to coordinate everything beforehand. Thanks a lot!

Dear John is absolutely top-notch and we can highly recommend them! At our wedding, they first played two songs during the ceremony that we had coordinated beforehand, where the guitar music and singing complemented the intimate atmosphere. Then they did a full set during the reception with a bit more upbeat songs which created a happy and summery atmosphere - a perfect bridge towards the party later on the day. And besides that Dirk-Jan and Ruud are very pleasant and relaxed and friendly guests! We had very good communication beforehand to discuss our wishes and also on the day itself they are very professional and flexible and feel exactly what is needed

We booked them at our wedding The guys were super friendly They played during our ceremony and during the drinks. The weather was beautiful so we could stand outside. Wishes we had we discussed with them by email. They complied with all of these. They also kept other appointments. The men are fantastic singers and give an intimate atmosphere to your wedding. We thought it was a really good addition to our day. We will recommend them to everyone. Not only from us they received compliments. But also our guests were very enthusiastic about them.
