    Past event

After a six-year hiatus, Emiel van Rijthoven and Bart Wirtz introduce a new band where their musical magic and energy take shape. In their quest to merge different musical worlds, a unique raw yet beautiful sound has emerged. It's a blend of electronically-driven grooves, atmospherically composed melodies, and eclectically energetic jazz, roots, and funk. Alongside Van Rijthoven and Wirtz, the regular live lineup of WAAN includes Matteo Mazzù and Mark Schilders.

Emiel van Rijthoven is primarily known to the general public as the regular keyboardist and bandleader for Waylon. However, outside of that, he is a highly sought-after keyboardist in various crossover genres. Bart Wirtz gained recognition, particularly after winning an Edison award with his album "iDreamer" in 2012. Additionally, Wirtz was a co-founder of his own studio, where he composed and produced various albums.
