Tracks10
Including live albums, Jan Akkerman has released 30 solo albums and has collaborated with a number of musicians including Alan Price (The Animals), Jack Bruce and Ice T and also counts fans in Brian May who said Akkerman was “totally a hero of mine, there are some people in life that no matter how old you are, you feel nervous if you meet someone, he’s one of those, he’s a real role model”. His position as Dutch royalty has been cemented and as a celebration of his significant contribution to Dutch pop and guitar music, Jan received the Golden Harp Award in early 2005, Holland’s most prestigious music prize that Jan dedicated to his loyal audience. At the end of 2012 he was appointed Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau, a monumental, royal honor that acknowledged his contribution to Dutch music and his influence on musicians around the world. At 72 years old, the supremely gifted guitarist is equalled by very few and his legendary ability makes him impossible to pigeon hole. He still remains an active touring artist in the Netherlands and with occasion trips around mainland Europe.
