DUNJA MEES & TOM NELSON- Acoustic Duo

Description

A stylish guitar & voice duo performing pure acoustic blues,
fingerpicking country, pop, jazz.



Tom Nelson is a young self-taught guitar player who was born in 1994. He began to play the guitar at the age of 14. First influenced by the blues, country and rock n'roll, he soon became interested in classical and flamenco music. His encounter with Marquito Velez enables him to play his first concerts in small halls, bars and theatres. He is very familiar with the traditional blues finger picking technique. As a young and ambitious musician he is always working to refine his playing.
Dunja Mees is a self-taught singer. At the age of 7, she followed classical piano lessons at the local music academy of Mechelen, her hometown. At a certain point, she decided to set her mind to one of her other passions: drawing and illustrating. But the music was never far away as she kept on composing songs on the piano and recording vocal ideas. Now she studies jazz at the conservatory in Antwerp to refine her musical skills, specializing in scat singin and vocal improvisation. She is mostly inspired by black American blues and jazz singers like Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Ida Cox, ...
In october 2012 they met in the Jazz Studio in Antwerp and being bound by many musical affinities decided to form a duet.  Quickly they got to play in many venues, whilst refining their playing into an acoustic set between blues, picking country, pop and jazz.
They recently won the first prize of the "Talent der Lage Landen 2013" contest in Antwerp.
