Rock4
Rock4 is a Dutch vocal group of 4 men with four totally
different voices, who love 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
has its own 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 on
built up into an almost new song. The Rock4 line-up: Nico Jacobs,
the charismatic base singer, Lucas Blommers, adding a warm
classical tenor sound, Harry Bannoehr as the rhythmic baritone and
- last but not least - lead singer Luc Devens with his impressive
solos.
In over ten years, Rock4 has built up an impressive record. They
are proud on performances in theatres both in the Netherlands,
Belgium, Germany and other countries, 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 ... and they do!
