Notes:
After winning the ‘Grote Prijs van Nederland’ section Singer/Songwriter, Eefje didn’t use the studio time she won, as her poartner at the time had his own studio @ famous Bullet Sound Studios. Inbetween playing liveshows, she concentrated on recording her debut-CD with Marcel and a busload of others.
Presented on January 27th 2011 during a show @ Paradiso Amsterdam, she later got invited to release her CD in Belgium with a gig @ Ancienne Belgique. Something which didn’t seem to have happened (on invite) for a Dutch artist in 32 years. This album was the start of two very busy years with appearances on a.o. Lowlands, Into The Great Wide OIpen, Uitmarkt etc.

Notes:
After winning the ‘Grote Prijs van Nederland’ section Singer/Songwriter, Eefje didn’t use the studio time she won, as her poartner at the time had his own studio @ famous Bullet Sound Studios. Inbetween pl;aying live, she concentrated on recording her debut-CD with Marcel and a busload of others. Early december 2010 saw the first release of these sessions as a digital download, consisting of the first three tracks. After the release of her album, the EP appeared in CD-shape, with an extra track, recorded by Eefje and her elder brother Paul, who also produced her first demos in 2002 and 2003.
‘Herinneringendingen’ reminds of some of her earliest recordings and is either an unreleased ‘SAM’ track, or a last session with the two other members of this trio.

Second demo, solo this time, showcasing her musical progress. Some tracks are just sketches, while most are full grown songs. Few copies made and spread among family, some friends and for broadcast purposes on local radio. An offer by brother Paul to remaster these tracks was blocked on the insistance of Eefje early 2010, at which point it was also decided to shelve these demos from further radio use.
‘Living Your Life’ and ‘Untitled’ were performed live June 20th and December 29th 2004 as duets with local singer Desiree Coumans on local radio.
As all tracks are untitled, the unknown tracks are alternatively titled and marked with*.

Notes:
Eefje started playing guitar and singing at the age of 12, performing for family and during musical nights at her school. Her first public performance was on Saturday July 1st 2000, when she performed a cover of Tory Amos with a friend during the ‘Moordrecht 2000’-festival in the village, where she grew up.

After this, she started writing her own material and performing at school and at ‘Zing’: annual choral singing days, organised by her father in ‘Vredenburg’ Utrecht.
This demo contains the first studiorecordings of her, brother Paul produced in his home studio, which was under construction at that point. Approximately 5 CD-R copies were made and spread among members of her family. This copy was given to me for the purpose of radio-broadcasting. An offer by brother Paul to remaster these tracks was blocked on the insistance of Eefje early 2010, at which point it was also decided to shelve these demos from further radio use.
Most of the arrangements were made by Paul and are mainly Funk and R’n’B-styled, though ‘Bussum’ already contains sounds and styles familiair with that of her debut album of 2011. ‘Things I Do’ was arranged as a complete track, which was used for her performance with schoolband ‘Temporary’, with whom she won the first edition of ‘Goudsche Courant Live Music Awards’ in 2003.
As all tracks are untitled, the unknown tracks are alternatively titled and marked with*.
