A fantastic tribute to 1 of the greatest artists of all time. David Bowie will remain in our memories forever. This is something different and also terribly good was the general reaction of the audience!

jan. 10, 2016. The world was shocked. Bowie Deceased? That can't be possible at all. No indeed it cannot because Bowie will always remain in our minds and left us a beautiful legacy.
If you are a big Bowie fan and want to hear the fantastic music of this great artist then you are in the right place.
There are several Bowie tribute bands but none work in the same way as the Bowie Who tribute show.
Bowie's voice is second to none, Bowie had different voices in all the decades. So should that voice be frenetically imitated like most tribute bands do? No, the idea is to present the songs as nicely as possible and have them rock where they should
rock and swing where they should swing. Nevertheless, Robert's voice does sound very much towards Bowie but that is a natural gift and not a frenetic imitation. Remember, there was only 1 Bowie!
Example of some nice compliments what followed after a performance in the culture barn:
"When I closed my eyes I thought it was Bowie himself, this sounds so damn good it gave me goosebumps" (culture barn Monster)
"The combo of the life story along with the rock solid music is truly a treat" (Theater Dakota)
"I had seen a couple of youtube videos and based on that I wouldn't have booked you but you really were the surprise of the day" (buitenblik festival Zevenaar)
People coming to thank you with tears in their eyes from emotion says something!
This is a solo project and presented and performed by Robert Harms.
Robert sings and plays guitar during the set with Bowie songs. He is accompanied by a looper on which he has played all the parts himself. The nice thing about this type of performance is the interaction with the audience and the funny anecdotes about Bowie. That is the reason why the name of this act is called ' Bowie Who'. "Bowie Who (was Bowie?)"
This type of performance is actually rare in the world of tribute bands. This fits in a theater, cafe but also in a living room or a nice garden party.
The sound is definitely very good and the most heard comment is that this is really an awesome show for the Bowie fan but also for the slightly less big fans because sometimes there is a quip to another artist who owes a lot to Bowie or visa versa.
The advantage of this setting is compact, quickly set up and no unnecessary fuss but the sound of a complete top band. No endless soundchecks early in the afternoon but just someone set up in 15 minutes without unnecessary noise.
Be sure to watch and listen to the videos. The sound was filmed in a very full environment and not post-processed or played in later like most artists do. This is an honest recording that sounds much better in reality. On the videos you will see a collaboration with a presenter named Cary van Rheenen. This can be booked along if desired.

Robert can play covers of various artists. Plays beautiful guitar with vocals and feels the audience well.

Although unfortunately we were not able to see the performance itself due to private circumstances, we spoke to several local residents afterwards. They were very impressed with their performance and found the performance very successful. Especially when several people were put in the spotlight for their commitment to the neighborhood. The neighborhood itself was also mentioned in the song. All in all, the performance of the band was definitely successful! For anyone looking for a good band, recommended.

We had a retirement party with 60 people on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Robert played the whole evening and it was just fantastic. Great musician, very clean, beautiful voice and he was able to keep the ambiance going all evening. Also very good communication in advance and he was on time, even though the distance was very far. In short.....we would choose Robert again if we had to do a party again. Highly recommended! Nadine and Guido from Belgium (Bonheiden).

Voor onze cantus hebben we Robert ingehuurd, dit is erg goed bevallen. Erg vriendelijk, meedenkend en leuke nummers. Kortom een super leuke avond gehad!

Robert played at a Christmas party at our office in December. Although the audience came mainly to chat he held his own. What I like about Robert is that he acts like a professional, has his own sound set so he is never too loud and adapts well to the audience.

Robert en Roy van de Ziggy Stardust Experience kunnen terugkijken op een zeer geslaagd optreden in de ZLounge in Alphen aan den Rijn ter opluistering van een familiefeest. Zij speelden van een uitgebreide setlist. Maar ook van verzoeknummers. De mensen waren bijzonder enthousiast en al gauw werd er gedanst. De band zorgde voor een gezellige, warme sfeer. En speelde nog lange lang door na de "verplichte" speeltijd. We spreken ook namens alle aanwezigen dat het optreden top was. Aanbevolen voor gezellige feestjes door Jan Moerings en Greet Pijcke h

Super atmosphere! Especially for our opening dance they had rehearsed a song. How special to be able to dance to live music. The band was there on time and played many different songs. Even though they only played with 2 people, you could feel the whole band. At the beginning of the evening there were still many children, who also went crazy to the music, very cozy! It made our party complete.
, Marjon
What a great party Robert Harms makes of it! Empathized well with our wishes even if he has never played a song or genre before. For us Rock and Roll aka Elvis on request and Andre Hazes sr for the party boy. Really great!!!

As a surprise act for Peter's birthday, what a great night we had especially because of this fantastic performance, so professional and quality, could not have made a better choice, only compliments from our guests they made our party ?
, Quirine
Contact went well. Artist is very flexible, amplification was well adapted to the location. The choice of music was made in consultation and turned out very well. Nothing to complain about!
, Darcey
Online performance for charity. Time stood still for a moment. The performance was great and the repertoire was a big hit. As soon as this bloody corona is over we will invite the band for a real face to face live performance. Highly recommended and this is the first band to combine old-fashioned craftsmanship with modern technology

Robert gave us a fantastic afternoon with his singing and music. Extensive repertoire of rock but also danceable music. Definitely worth repeating!

Coronacrisis, about 150 70+ people who are plummeting behind the geraniums. You don't have any money, but you do have a turret with a roof terrace. So what do you do? Solo artist Robert questions, right?! Very kind, patient, because it has to be with nice weather and when the day arrives ... A splashing performance under the hot sun. Nice playlist of 60-70'ies and of course OhOh The Hague, because we are in the middle of that center. Robert: it was a fantastic gesture and a great gig!
, Julia
When I heard that Robert was going to perform mostly covers, I was hesitant. My doubts were quickly washed away because he has such a unique and entertaining personal style, that he can give the original artists a run for their money, regardless of genre. Working with him was easy, and watching him performing is truly entertaining.
, Lilian
All appointments were well fulfilled and communication was very fast and good We could have a look at the rehearsals we enjoyed In short, a great relaxed band and good quality band that made a big contribution to the success of our party. There was a lot of dancing and the songs fitted our taste. In short, great!
