Anneke van Giersbergen, Dutch singer and guitarist, is known as the singer of the progressive rock band The Gathering (1994 -2007). After her departure, she devoted herself mainly to her project Agua de Annique, followed by her first studio album purely under her own name in 2012. Her roots lie in jazz and classical music.
This will be the second time she will perform in Serbia and this time she is coming with striking and charming acoustic solo performance. She will present songs from her rich discography, as well as her versions of favorite tracks by various authors with whom she has collaborated, according to the organizers.
Anneke started her musical career in 1994 when she joined the legendary gothic doom metal band The Gathering. A year later, they released the influential album “Mandylion”, which instantly became an inspiration to many other bands on the scene such as Therion, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation and many others. However, Anneke and the guys from The Gathering wanted to continue experimenting with sound and by 2006 had recorded a series of great albums, successfully traveling through genres that they themselves defined as “trip-rock”. After 13 years with The Gathering, Anneke started her solo career in 2007. Already from the first subsequent project Agua De Annique showed that her creativity has no limits. Since then, she has recorded six solo studio albums, led the bands The Gentle Storm and Vuur, recorded and performed several times with the Canadian metal genius Devin Townsend, and with her calm but powerful voice colored the songs of the bands Anathema, Ayreon, Amorphis, Moonspell, Within Temptation and others. The reason for Anneke’s new tour in Europe is the release of her new single/EP “La Vie”, which announces the new studio album that awaits us at the end of this year.
