Danny Vera

Curing the Dutch of their Bohemian Rhapsody obsession is an achievement of Olympic proportions. The song Roller Coaster broke all records, topped all charts and has now been streamed more than 50 million times. But that success did not come out of nowhere. The long and winding road that led to Danny Vera's current status began in Middelburg with an incurable love for music from the fifties and sixties. Entirely on his own terms and without making concessions to the vintage aesthetic, he has worked on an ever-growing fan base, performance after performance. Twenty years of loyal work has paid off in the platinum album Pressure Makes Diamonds .

But the mission is far from complete. With each song, Pieter Hoekstra's tail grows between his legs. Danny Vera represents the soul of American Country and Blues like no other.
