ROOM 11

Room 11 came into existence because of a simple note pinned on a notice board at the Conservatorium in Utrecht.

With their 2006 debut album Six White Russians And A Pink Pussycat, they have managed to impress an increasingly bigger audience with a catchy mixture of jazz, pop, funk, blues and a touch of folk.

Whether a strict jazz lover or a young pop fan, in the end you will be won over by their incredible stage presence. The band’s debut album went platinum and. Room Eleven won an Essent Award for young musical talent and continued their success story with amazing performances on the stages of North Sea Jazz, Crossing Border, Oerol and the Canadian Montreal Jazz Festival, followed by an intimate theatre tour with Jazz Impuls, a fully sold-out Dutch club tour and, after the urgent requests of many local MySpace fans, a great number of shows in Japan. Soon, the band started working on their second album Mmm…Gumbo? when Dayna Kurtz offered to help the band record their new album with her regular producer Randy Crafton at the Kaleidoscope Sound Studios in New York.

Room 11 is Janne Schra – vocals, Arriën Molema – guitar, Tony Roe – keyboards, Lucas Dols – bass and Maarten Molema – drums.
