You probably know Eloi Youssef as the former lead singer of Kensington, but those who attended one of his sold-out performances with Kamerata Zuid last year know that he has many more musical paths to explore. On Saturday, May 15, he will do it differently again, performing a solo show at the Nieuwe Kerk. A perfect setting where Eloi will take you on an intimate journey through both old and new songs. He shares the following about the performance:

“Nearly all the songs I’ve ever written began with a guitar, sitting at home on the couch. On this tour, I’m happy to honor those very first versions. Old songs and new songs in the form they were originally written—before any production, before they made their way to the studio or were played live. Stepping onto the stage this way is extra exciting; it feels a bit like I’m inviting everyone into my living room. But it’s precisely because of that simplicity and intimacy that I’m really looking forward to it!” – Eloi Youssef
