The Coo is an international folk duo, British Matt and Dutch Jara met by chance at an open mic and have since been writing songs together about love and life that they perform in two voices, with guitars and sometimes ukulele. Think: Carole King and James Taylor, Angus & Julia Stone. Warm, harmonious folk with beautiful melodies and lyrics that stick with you.
International folk duo The Coo consists of songwriters Matt Arthur and Jara Holdert. They live at a distance - in London and Amsterdam, and met by chance at an Amsterdam open mic. They immediately felt a musical kinship that they further developed during overseas visits, writing songs and performing with each other. In 2019, The Coo recorded their debut album during a concert in an Amsterdam shul, where they sang about their meeting, their connection and the distance. Amsterdam Moon won "album of the year" at the NativeDSD label. With two guitars and two voices intertwining and breaking away from each other, you can hear how two musical souls find each other in harmony. The warm, melancholy love songs are reminiscent of folk and pop from the sixties and seventies, artists like Carole King & James Taylor; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and contemporary artists like Angus & Julia Stone.

Jara sang at our wedding and her performance was a real addition to the day. She sang beautifully, fitted completely within the setting and was well prepared. Her warm, sweet attitude made her performance even better. We are super happy that Jara sang at our wedding and recommend her to everyone!

Jara gave a great living room concert on January 1st. It exceeded my expectations and her own songs are great. Also nice is that she tells something about the songs.

Jara, gave a great performance on the 14th of September during the Think-in session of Stadsdeel West. It was an intimate and strong performance.
