Rock4 is a Dutch vocal group who loves to experiment on well-known pop and rock songs, without musical instruments ever being missed. With a good deal of humour they present an array of carefully arranged, colourful songs in which their four voices beautifully blend Rock4’s unmistakable style. A style, which has won them international recognition over the last years and is bound to surprise and capture the audience.
The music of Rock4 is not standard vocal music. Every song is carefully analysed and reduced to its essentials and from there built up into an almost new song. The Rock4 line-up: Nico Jacobs, our charismatic base singer, Lucas Blommers, adding a warm classical tenor sound, Harry Bannoehr as our rhythmic baritone, and - last but not least – lead singer Luc Devens with his impressive solos.
In ten years, Rock4 has built up an impressive record. They are proud on performances in theatres both in the Netherlands and abroad, their appearances on (inter)national radio and television, and invitations to music festivals all over the world, for example in Munich, Berlin, Barcelona, Graz, Vienna, Singapore, Tapei, Kiev and Montreux. Their greatest strength lies in their original musical arrangements: in 2003, the arrangement of Alanis Morissette’s Uninvited got them the prestigious CARA Award.
Beautiful arrangements and intense singing have brought them to close the gap between rock music and the theatre. They never simply copy a song, but they are always in search of a characteristic approach to the music. Their music is not meant to merely entertain, but to really move you ...
