I feel that I've written some catchy/addictive tunes and I can't wait to share them with you."

Anneke staged two unique shows in February — at the Melkweg in Amsterdam, Holland (Feb. 12) and at the Oosterpoort in Groningen (Feb. 13). At these intimate performances, Anneke shed some light on her compositions through personal stories. Anneke was also joined on stage by Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Niels Geusebroek (Silkstone) and singer-songwriter Marike Jager. These artists also perform on Anneke's latest acoustic album, "Pure Air".
As well as acoustic versions of songs from her solo debut, "Air", Anneke's "Pure Air" album contains some great collaborations. Besides Sharon den Adel, Niels Geusebroek and Marike Jager, Anneke is joined by Danny Cavanagh (Anathema), John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia) and Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon.
Recently the band played a handful of concerts in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico in early March. Part one of a video documentary featuring highlights from the tour can be viewed on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzu_3alxp84
