About Me |

| I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Martin van de Vrugt: Since 1980 I am writing and playing my own songs. I am a singer and I play on several mostly acoustic guitars and other string-instuments like banjo, mandoline and bass. I am also a harmonica player. In the early eighties I started playing on the streets of major dutch cities. I was young and not very tall so I had to make quite a show to get attention. These days I am quite 'laid back'. My stage shows are still dynamic and people are often very moved after my concerts. Alone is just alone so early 2006 Dutch singer/songwriter Mischa Lelieveld and I decided it was time to join forces. For more than three years lots of people told us we should... So you could not only hear us on cd but also see us on stage together. And it's true, the blend of our guitars and vocals is just MAGIC! On october 16th 2007 Mischa gave birth to a boy they named Jasper. Mother and child are well but we won't appear on stage for a while... So or I'm alone on stage these days or with my two "Friends" bassist Hennie van Lunteren and percussionist Alexander Klusman. I have my own recording-studio so I can work when-ever I like to. Other artists have already found my studio too. I have made some very inspired cd's as an solo artist (january 2001 “Sunset Moonshine”; february 2002 “Redux”; april 2004 “Know Feel”; september 2006 "Count the better Days") and for several other great Dutch artists and bands like VisAge, Jos Wijnen, Sirocco, Pass it On, Rosa Sky, Mischa Lelieveld and Walkin' Bus.
