Margriet and I attended the “Taxi Road Rally” in 2011 and 2012, and decided it was time to make the effort (and investment) and attend this amazing event again: 6-9 November 2014 in Los Angeles.
It’s one of the many ways Taxi invests in their members, to give us the connections and tools and incentive to be a better songwriter, singer, musician, recording artist, recording engineer, mixer and masterer … etc.
I can’t wait.

Two Doors Down are scheduled to perform twice during the up-coming THISSFEST:
Monday, 23 June in The Hague (evening)
Thursday, 26 June in Haarlem (evening)
More details to follow.
Irene joined this active group of (mostly young) Rotterdam songwriters who meet monthly to share songs written in response to a group assignment. Styles vary considerably. But it’s good to have a regular opportunity to share our interest in songcraft and to challenge and be challenged to extend our boundaries.
Come to our Showcase at RAAF on Saturday, 7 June, starting at 8pm, and get a taste of the fruit of our labour. 7 of the 8 regular members of the group will be there to entertain us.
Irene will be singing with Koos on a song that they worked on together: “No regrets”. And Margriet will join Irene on some new songs (“This for you” on ukelele, “All that matters”, and “Giants”, written for a retirement do of a long-term friend of Margriet’s), and perhaps an old “Two Doors Down” favourite.
Come early for a tasty (low budget) meal.
We’ve been invited to perform in the “Tales Worth Telling” series on Thursday, 8 May 2014.
Background info
Tales Worth Telling is a reoccurring event(every two months), in which artists can open up to the crowd with self-written material. The events take place in the attic at the monumental building ‘de Koornbeurs’ in Delft. This makes for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.

Two Doors Down debut EP release in Dordrecht, 11 April 2014
Two Doors Down
http://www.twodoorsdownband.com
Two Doors Down presenteert hun debuut EP in De Vreemde Eend, Dordrecht.
Op vrijdag 11 april zal Two Doors Down de EP “Life’s Like That” presenteren in De Vreemde Eend te Dordrecht.
De zelf geproduceerde EP “Life’s Like That” bevat 5 nummers van de “band” (duo) rondom singer-songwriter, Irene Bom. Samen zijn Irene en bandlid Margriet van Overbeeke al een aantal jaar actief in de open mic/open podium circuit in Rotterdam en omstreken. Two Doors Down komen graag in de Backstage Hotel in Amsterdam voor de wekelijkse open mic van de Amsterdam Songwriters Guild, en zij namen het initiatief zelf zoiets in Rotterdam te organiseren. In 2013 namen ze deel aan THISSFEST in Den Haag en hun lied, “Life’s Like That”, was een van de vijf genomineerde in de “Song of the Year” categorie bij de THISSFEST awards.
De EP “Life’s Like That” is opgenomen in de studio van Micin te Gouda. Je hoort de liedjes zoals ze ook live worden uitgevoerd, maar dan met beter geluid.
De liedjes bevatten een fijne mix van verscheidene instrumenten: gitaar, blokfluit, melodica, percussie en kazoo! Meest kenmerkend is de tweestemmige zang en de verhalende liedteksten.
Two Doors Down staat op 11 april om 20.00 in De Vreemde Eend, Bagijnhof 27, 3311 KE Dordrecht (tel: 078-6316678)
