Jan Henk de Groot & Reinout Douma
De Oosterpoort
Trompsingel 27, 9724 DA GroningenIn Tiepelzinneg, Groninger troubadour Jan Henk de Groot performs without his beloved guitars for the very first time. This makes him quite 'tiepelzinneg' (Gronings for nervous). Accompanied by pianist Reinout Douma, he takes to the stage with both familiar and brand-new songs.
De Groot sings with vulnerability and a narrative touch, featuring new piano arrangements. Themes include recurring nightmares, faith, aging, loss, happiness, and the question: "Why is my leg shaking like this?" Be prepared for a full range of emotions! Jan Henk de Groot is well-known for songs such as Mamme van Michel, Kielsterachterweg, and Noar Stad. He has twice won the Streektaalprijs for his albums De wolf is trug and Weerom.
“Bold, funny and moving.” “De Groot is a great entertainer, singer and storyteller who takes his audience on a journey through his life and manages to touch them on multiple levels.”
