Original songs. Written in a week. Recorded live.

The Acoustic Guitar Project was created to inspire songwriters to make more music. 

Here's how it works:

1. We choose a city and a local musician and provide them with an acoustic guitar and hand held recorder.

2. That musician has one week to record an original song and record it live. No editing is allowed. They have to record it as many times as needed to get it just right.

3. When the musician is finished, they sign the guitar and pass it on to the next musician in that city. When that city’s guitar reaches 5 musicians, there is a concert and every musician plays the song they wrote for the project.



Earopener is a music ensemble centered around singer and guitarist Rogier van Kralingen, based on the nickname given to him by his friends, since he has the tendency to open people's ears. Rogier is regularly supported by pianist and composer Victor Butzelaar, producer and drummer Arjan van Asselt and many other famous artists. The Amsterdam based formation produces what they call 'Acoustic Soul': a uniquely gripping, moody and original indie sound.

Driftwood Scavenger - drifting between acoustic and ambient experimental.

Sured got his first guitar on his 9th birthday - the best present he could ever receive. After a couple of years of growing as a guitarist, Sured started his singer-songwriter career in 2010. He wrote his first songs and started performing. In the following years, his passion steadily grew to a professional level.

After a couple of years of writing, Sured recorded his first EP The Blue Flame. Shortly after that, he was proclaimed to be the best singer-songwriter in Utrecht, praised for his guitar- and entertainment skills and his characteristic vocal sound.

Sured was seen on Dutch national TV in the program De Beste Singer-songwriter van Nederland, then wrote jingles for SLAM!FM and Radio538, became the subject of a T-Mobile commercial, played 28 shows with Popronde and performed in the TV program RAMBAM. After a couple of successful years as a singer-songwriter, Sured formed a band in 2018 to record his debut album 21st Century Love. The album release was a dream come true in a sold-out EKKO in Utrecht. After the debut album’s band tour Sured went back to playing mainly solo-shows again.

In 2019 Sured released multiple singles, played as a headliner in TivoliVredenburg and played his singles on Radio 3FM. 2021 was a year with multiple releases, of which the last single is By My Side.

"Sured is a real performer. Songs that get stuck in your head after even hearing them once. Nothing but positivity, even though there's room for more serious moments too" - 3voor12 after the sold-out releaseshow of debutalbum 21st Century Love in EKKO.
