Be touched by the poetry of Leonard Cohen. Be transported to the 1970s. The core of Geert plays Cohen, revolves around poetry, warmth, love being together. No own adaptations or translations, his poetry is too beautiful for that.
Besides his own work in Frisian, Dutch and English, Geert performs covers of Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice, Maarten van Roozendaal and many others. He also tries to keep the Frisian language alive, despite his love-hate relationship with his home country. If you are looking for an authentic artist who knows how to create an intimate, warm atmosphere, look no further!

The repertoire is specifically tailored to the target audience of the elderly. Since I started playing in care centers, I have found that music is so connecting and good for the mind and memory. It's very rewarding work to do, so I'd love to visit you too! Preferred evening or Friday.

Saturday, October 15, Geert Krijn together with Aeneas gave a great performance at my housewarming party in Dedemsvaart. The contact with Geert was very nice, very spontaneous and everything was well organized. He came together with Aeneas and they played a mix of Frisian and English songs, as agreed.) (Very nice: "One" by U2) With his beautiful voice, catchy lyrics and guitar playing he made my garden party unforgettable. Everyone was enthusiastic about Geert and I can heartily recommend him and Aeneas with his dark brown voice! Boukje Lijzenga Dedemsvaart

Postponed by corona 2 years, but finally we could celebrate the 60th birthday of brother-in-law Arjan near Hellendoorn. For the drinks at Herberg de Pas in Haarle (a beautiful location) we were looking for music. A party is not complete without music and certainly not for Arjan. Via Showbird we came across Geert Krijn and contact was quickly made. Geert indicated that he would come as a couple 'that gives more body and possibilities' The arrangements about time and costs were quickly and clearly arranged. This also reflected Geert's passion for music: "Knowing us, it may well be that we end up playing longer, but we won't charge anything extra for that And so, on October 15, at 4:30 p.m., Geert and Aeneas were ready for a fantastic performance. Fortunately we were not charged for being late due to logistical problems. How fantastic this duo plays: what beautiful and very different voices, what a wonderful atmosphere and what a variety. From Krijn's own beautiful songs to The Doors and from Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash to the Pixies, which nobody in our group knew, except Arjan who was a fan of them. So time flew by and in the end the performance did indeed last longer than agreed upon. Do you want a fantastic musical experience? Book Krijn and Aeneas and immerse yourself in their varied music and enjoy it for a long time to come!

It was a great evening because of Geert's performance! What a beautiful voice.... everyone was super excited. I would definitely recommend this if you want to organize something special Geert takes you along and lets you enjoy. He really did touch my heart a number of times. His own songs are also special and super nice! Sandy, A'dam

The BBQ guests enjoyed the music and were visibly at ease. Lovely to see how you made contact with the babies and small children who were also quietly listening to you. Thanks for the quick and pleasant communication beforehand. It was easy for us to make arrangements and you kept them.

Geert performed at a birthday party, where guests from all age groups were present. Geert started by introducing himself; then he turned to the birthday boy and started his performance by musically zooming in on some highlights from her personal life by singing songs from relevant periods. With anecdotes the years were bridged and we listened to beautiful songs sung by Geert and accompanied by guitar play. His warm and characteristic voice made us enthusiastic listeners. Geert ended his performance with a beautiful song written by himself about his son. We enjoyed!

Geert gave a very nice performance. His warm voice and perfectly chosen songs that sound wonderful make me wish I could have booked him for longer. His songs by Leonard Cohen and Damien Rice are still ringing in my head. He ended with his own song 'My City' which made me feel even prouder of Amsterdam! And I would love to book him again!

Geert's performance was warm, atmospheric and professional. In terms of preparation, he was right on time, had all his equipment with him and even adapted lyrics for the target audience. Geert Krijn writes his own songs, with a beautiful melody and very nice lyrics. In combination with his warm and very unique voice it is a special performance and a pleasure to listen to. Besides his own repertoire he also has a wide experience with covers. For a nice performance I would definitely book Geert Krijn again.

The performance of Geert Krijn was very atmospheric. He knew how to connect with the audience and sought contact regularly. The lyrics were clearly understandable. Particularly suitable for the more intimate settings! Geert Krijn was present on time and acted very professional
