The atmosphere and sound of a complete band interpreted by 1 person. References in abundance. For garden parties, birthdays, weddings, cafes and anything where live music is needed. Success guaranteed!
Robert is an experienced musician who transforms any party into a roof off party.
This is truly one of the best solo acts around.
Very suitable for weddings, birthdays, garden parties and all other parties where live music is desired.
The repertoire consists of known modern and older songs and ranges from Emergency or Angel Guardian to Du Hast and Whole lotta Rosie. In short, very broad and especially played live!
The repertoire has a high party content. Robert plays "just" songs that everyone recognizes and can sing along to and it sounds terribly good. By the way, the playlist below is not complete. It is much more extensive and requests are of course welcome.
This is not a singer singing quietly in
the background with an acoustic guitar but a real one man band.
The music world is changing at a rapid pace. You used to need a whole band but that is no longer necessary today. Why book a full band that takes up a lot of space, sounds less tight and is also more expensive when you can take a solo artist who sounds better as a full band?
Music style is best described as Rock, Disco, Dance, Rock & Roll top 100, Pop and Dutch. Fun medleys including by Nile Rodgers (Le Freak, Lets Dance), Red Hot Chilli Peppers .
Disco: including Disco Inferno, I wish, Plat That funky Music, Why did you do that thing to me etc....
Rock: including AC DC, Guns Roses, U2, Stones, Earring, ZZ Top etc....
Rock & Roll: a.o. Stray cats, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Bryan Ferry, Status Quo, etc....
Modern: a.o., Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, Alvaro Soler, Rag'n bone man, Son Mieux, Goldband etc..
Dutch: a.o. Doe maar, De Dijk, The Lau, Guus Meeuwis, Rowen heze etc..
Ballads: e.g. Hallelujah, Purple Rain, Let her go, Perfect, etc..
German: verdammt ich lieb dich, Major Tom, 99 Luftballons
New! to make the evening even cozier: Europapa and Atemlos durch die nacht. The combination of German songs together with good old Dutch pop do well at an Oktoberfest. But there are several top German hits on the set list. The setlist already consists of 100 songs and requests are always possible.
How does the solo performance work?
Robert accompanies himself on Electric guitar in combination with his self-recorded tracks played in on a looper and operated live.
A performance with these tracks sounds even better than a full band and the advantage is that any sound 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 individuals to get a good idea about the performances of this oneman band. Addresses can be obtained via the message option on Showbird but also via the Cultuurschuur in Monster, Watersport Vereniging Wassenaar or Theater Dakota.
The sound system Robert uses is very compact but oh so powerful. The performance will never be too loud but very beautiful. The most heard reaction from the audience is that it is very special that nowadays you only need one 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.. Would you like to extend the act with an extra band member on the piano or electronic percussion? Then check out the Ziggy Stardust experience on Showbird.
Because of the many requests this artist will no longer accept all performances outside a circle of 100 km from south Holland or it must be combined with another performance in the same region. There are exceptions for Groningen/Friesland and Germany/Belgium/Catalonia/Costa blanca

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!
