Aron Michaels, who lives in Brabant and was born as Michael Saedt on March 8, 1965 in Nijmegen, started his singing career in Dordrecht in an unexpected way.
After much urging from friends, he decided to sing an Elvis song as a joke during a local performance. The enthusiastic and positive audience gave Aron the confidence to continue singing. This led to him taking part in talent shows, the first of which took place in Rotterdam. He quickly became a welcome guest and managed to impress with his performances.
After numerous successful talent shows, where he always took home the first prizes, Aron decided to take his passion for music seriously. His breakthrough followed quickly, with invitations to perform on popular TV programs such as Winkel van Sinkel, CallTV, Hart voor Muziek, and the Op naar de Top Festival. He even performed in prestigious locations such as the RAI and Ahoy.
In collaboration with Muijs-Entertainment Services, his career continued to grow, with a busy schedule of performances throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. In 2010, Aron took a new path when he came into contact with Martin van Gent, former lead singer/guitarist of New Four. This led to the release of his first single, the Dutch song “Foto aan de Wand”, the accompanying video clip of which was regularly shown on TV Oranje. Shortly afterwards, the song “Ik Mis Je Steeds Meer” followed, which was also successfully broadcast.
After a period of silence, Aron returned in 2018 with the song “De Zon Zal Voor Jou Schijnen”, in collaboration with Dutch Music Artist. Aron, an avid Elvis fan from a young age, increasingly felt the urge to sing English songs. His performances took on a country slant, with covers of greats such as Elvis Presley, Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks.

Featured Artist of the month Januari 2023
Melanie Mutsers and Dennie van den Bosch have been able in the past year to credit many successes.
In addition to the successful singles, they were also regularly seen on TV. They don’t start 2023 with a Dutch sing-along, but cross the border and share the good intentions for the new year in English.
There is one thing in common with the hits from 2022 and that is that the fun is dripping off with this single “My New Next Year”.
Mel & Den received support from Martine for this single and, like the previous singles, the single was released on the NL Hits label.
2023 will be a year in which we will hear and see a lot from this popular duo.

Hickory Hank
Has it been long? Nah, it’s not that long actually. So it wasn’t all that long ago that a number of musicians, relatively unknown to each other, got together to share their love of Country and Americana in particular. The men soon found common heroes in Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Gram Parsons. There is also a common love for the more traditional instruments. This includes the guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass cymbal and whatever else is on the table.
From their small town on the Rhine, the men are slowly but surely building up a solid live reputation. And they are welcome on and off the stage. Given their instruments, they have the freedom of movement to play in any cozy corner. In fact, that may be what they like best. Blessed with voices like nightingales, the polyphonic singing really adds value.
Besides playing covers, the band has also focused on writing, playing and recording their own material.

Blackfields (Country Rebels)!
Their repertoire mainly consists of country songs by Chris Stapleton, Johnny Cash, Tyler Childers, Etta James, the Judds & Loretta Lynn, among others.
The band members know each other from their circle of friends and last year decided to make music together. It has since grown into a close-knit club. They are proud of what they do and hope to continue doing so for many years to come!
They also started writing their own songs and came into contact with John and Nienke from Neo Music. A warm contact has arisen with these 2 and they are now considered good friends. John and Nienke worked together with Blackfields to develop their first song into a full-fledged production. They are also on their way to a full album. Kelly, Rick, Tienus and Marcel (Blackfields) are a striking company, on their way to more!
Listen to their debut single “Disappointed”
