A Blue Sands concert is a living room show regardless of the size of the venue. Belgian singer Esther van Hees and Dutch bass player Reindert Kragt met at the Amsterdam Conservatoire in 2013 and started their lockdown-duo in early Covid days, using nothing but their voices, one bass guitar, and a range of effects.
In 2020 they released their EP Flowers Made of Clay, and at Amersfoort World Jazz Festival, they’re getting ready to present No Longer Blue, their first full-length.
Inspired by ideas from video games to Disney and Bob Ross, the duo has performed at So What’s Next, InJazz and Generations. Catch them at Amersfoort World Jazz Festival now!
