Philip Kroonenberg

Americana veteran Philip Kroonenberg founded the band Personnel together with Ad Vanderveen and was in the now active Freelance Band for a long time. Philip has developed his own style of playing guitar, which alternates between double-bass fingerpicking, flatpicking and a flamenco-like stroke. He also gets his own, almost dancing sound from the ukulele. But his direct and personal lyrics are the most distinctive.

With Matthijs van Nieuwkerk he looked back on a difficult period of waiting rooms, hospitals, untouched books and showers that just wouldn't wash away the cold. His sick lover has since recovered. And the difficult period was transformed into thirteen songs that form the critically acclaimed debut album for Excelsior Recordings, with the telling name Some More Time . Philip Kroonenberg sings life around.
