HUGE MUSIC played by 1 MUSICIAN that sounds like a complete TOP COVERBAND with the best music from the TOP 2000.
The atmosphere and sound of a complete band played by 1 person. References abound. For garden parties, birthdays, weddings, cafe's and everything where live music is needed. Success guaranteed!
Robert is an experienced musician who turns any party into a roof off party.
This is truly 1 of the best (oneman) bands or solo acts around.
The atmosphere and sound of a complete band interpreted by 1 person. References abound. For garden parties, birthdays, weddings, bars and everything where live music is needed. Success guaranteed!
How does the performance work?
Robert accompanies himself on guitar in combination with his self-recorded tracks recorded on a looper. He recorded everything himself except one song with guest musicians.
A performance with these tracks sounds even better than a complete band and the advantage is that any volume is possible. Because he plays the tracks himself there is no second artist that sounds the same. Everyone who
has heard it so far has been pleasantly surprised. Feel free to contact neighborhood clubs, halls, cafes and private persons to get a good idea about the performances of this "small" band.
The repertoire consists of well-known modern and older songs.
The repertoire has a high party content. Robert plays "just" songs that everyone recognizes and can sing along to and it sounds awfully good. By the way, the playlist below is not complete. It is much more extensive and requests are of course welcome. By the way, the set list already consists of 100 songs by default.
This is not a singer singing quietly in the background with an acoustic guitar but a real band consisting of only 1 person.
Why book a complete band that takes up a lot of space, sounds less tight and is also more expensive when you can take a 1 man band that sounds better than a complete band, and is easier to place? Optionally, the band can be expanded with a pianist or percussionist playing along on an electronic percussion drum. The combination with Melissa Sneekes as DJ is also a good option. DJ Sneekes can also be found on Showbird and a combination with her is a good option price-wise. Especially company parties are suitable events for the combination OneMan BAND and DJ Melissa Sneekes

The sound system Robert uses is very compact but oh so powerful. The performance will never be too loud but very nice. The most heard reaction from the audience is that it is very special that nowadays you only need 1 person to put down a complete band. Another big advantage is the time it takes to set up. It never takes longer than half an hour. A sound check? Not necessary, especially at weddings it can be distracting.
The set list does not include all the songs that can be played. End of the year often includes some Christmas songs such as Jingle bells rock, So this is Christmas, merry Xmas, it will be lonely this Christmas etc....
Maximum travel distance 100km but send a message to be sure if you live further away because possibly a combination with other performances is possible.
Almost everything by David Bowie can be played (on request), see on Showbird the David Bowie tribute Bowie Who.

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.

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!
