# **Bio **

Kingfisher is een zeskoppige band uit de Zaanstreek. Na een lange pauze is de band - die oorspronkelijk werd opgericht in 2000 - weer bezig met nieuw materiaal. De zeskoppige band bestaat uit zanger Fons de Haan, gitarist Dimitri Kruythoff, toetsenist Jeroen Knaap, bassist Daniël de Vries, percussionist Jan Groenendaal en drummer Arjen Knaap.

De muziekstijl zou omschreven kunnen worden als pop/rock, maar dat zou het brede geluid van de band tekort doen. Het gebruik van verschillende instrumenten zorgt voor een rijk en veelkleurig geheel. Soms klinkt de muziek mysterieus en dromerig, dan weer is ze broeierig en opzwepend - maar de bitterzoete romantiek van de verhalen van frontman Fons de Haan staat altijd centraal.

# **Band **

- Fons de Haan Lead Vocals, Guitar
- Dimitri Kruythoff Lead Guitar, Low Whistle, Backing Vocals
- Jeroen Knaap Keys, Trumpet, Backing Vocals
