Maarten van Praag: a pleasant, pure and distinctive voice. Songs that really move you. Straight to the heart. Maarten releases his EP ‘Shells And Stones’ in August of 2013. Recorded, produced and mixed by Tony Cornelissen, it’s Maarten’s most personal work so far. 

His Grandfather Max van Praag was a successful singer in the 40’s and 50’s. Like his famous granddad Maarten covered a lot of mileage in the Dutch music scene over the past 10 years. He was frontman of the hit band City To City and performed – solo or with his band - on many different stages: living rooms, clubs, festivals and in pop temples. Meeting people, having conversations with audiences, journalists and other musicians pushed Maarten inch by inch out of his comfort zone. Ready to write songs in a different way than before. A different sound, a different work ethic. Testing new songs live, and sometimes changing them on the spot if needs be. 

Shells And Stones is the title track and first single of the new EP. The lyrics are derived from a quote from Maarten’s singer grandfather and written on the spot while recording the lead vocals. An impressive EP, produced by Tony Cornelissen and a Dutch – Canadian collaboration. Harry Hess, frontman of Harem Scarem also contributed to the tracks.
