Bas van Holt

After ten years of touring, writing, and recording with Dawn Brothers, Bas van Holt is embarking on a side quest. In his solo project, the focus shifts from band playing to intuition and experimentation. The music moves between ‘crazy rock’, indie folk, and instrumental guitar pieces, influenced by artists such as Beck, Daniel Lanois, and Paul McCartney.Largely played by Bas himself, but assisted here and there by musician friends such as Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff), Darryl Ciggaar (Minko), Ties Voskamp (Cocobolo), Jelle Rozenburg, and Yanna Pelser. Alongside narrative folk songs, there are spontaneous improvisations, grunge tracks, and subdued guitar music. Do not expect a consistent stylistically consistent album, but rather a personal collection of songs and sounds where curiosity is more important than genre. Fruit Basket will be released on September 4, 2026, via Echo Archive Recordings.
