Biography

Violet’s Tale originated in late-2014 as a collaboration between Edith Spies Wawrowska and Jeroen Rabeling, but over the course of five years grew out to become a fully fletched band, featuring drummer Stef Eggen and bass player Stephanie Habets-Heuperman. Although the band has its roots firmly planted in the country tradition, they nonetheless subvert clichés with fresh songwriting, drawing from various external influences. This approach results in a highly varied repertoire, where galloping high-energy songs are alternated by tracks with a more laid-back feel. Their stage presence can be described as energetic; visibly experiencing the music while playing it to present it to the audience in a highly entertaining manner. Several years of frequent performing across the Benelux has shaped the band into a respectable name in the region, and they are tirelessly working to move beyond those borders, bringing their music for all to hear.
