Voice and bass: an exciting and intimate combination

The beauty of this jazz/pop duo lies in its simplicity. Blue Sands shows that with just one voice and one bass you can create a strong basis for a song and draw attention to the stories inside the music. Their characteristic sound leaves space for the imagination.

Belgian singer Esther Van Hees and Dutch electric bass player Reindert Kragt met in 2013 during their jazz masters at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and have since played together in a variety of projects.
