VELVET SEA

Velvet Sea is the name Bert Bruines uses for his homestudioproject. The music is a mixture of singersongwriter, indiepop, country and has some psychedelic elements. It's warm, intimate, sincere and melancholic.

Bert played in several bands with different styles: indie pop/rock (Soaptrip, Drive Cooler), postrock (Blue Bungalows) and stonerpunk (Tetna Shot). Gigs were done all through the country and at wellknown festivals like 'Noorderslag'. National airplay was achieved by Velvet Sea, Soaptrip and Drive Cooler and interviews with Bert were broadcasted. Besides Velvet Sea he's busy with a new band, work, kids and windsurfing.

Like the first two albums, the third album 'Ride For Sunrise' got very good reviews, maybe even better. The CD can be ordered and songs can be downloaded at www.cdshark.nl were you can also hear samples of Velvet Sea.
