Two of the most innovative songwriters from the Netherlands will grace our little bookstore stage on Sunday 19.4!

Immen is the musical moniker of Utrecht-based musician Clasine Haringsma.
Staying true to her Frisian roots, she sings in both English and Frisian—gravitating
towards the latter. Even though her songs often deal with uncertainties and
overwhelming feelings, Haringsma’s warm, ethereal voice imbues the songs with a
feeling of comfort. Her songs are delicately crafted, pure little realms evoking
nature’s seasonal shifts—passing through rain and into the sun. For fans of Laura
Marling, Adrianne Lenker and Jeff Buckley.

Tamara van Esch creates eclectic indie folk in the spirit of This is the Kit and Mitski. Intimate, dreamlike, and gently unconventional. With fragile yet sometimes critical lyrics, she reflects on everyday things that suddenly appear extraordinary. Her songs are tender and poetic, wrapping honest stories in warm, embracing instrumentation. On her album Tussen Lagen, she shares hopeful stories inspired by interviews with psychologically vulnerable people. On her upcoming record (2026) she introduces you to a science-fiction world in 2045, in which her 200-year-old persona Gracie describes her past and future life experiences.
