Biografie
So many things could so easily be said about Michiel Meijers as a musician. They wouldn't be far off, either. Yes, he started out early. Yes, he was classically educated (clarinet) and yes, he was never just learning to play an instrument, he was always en route to perform. And sure enough, his scope of talents is as broad as they come; he will just as easily hijack your piano as he will steal your trombone, reed instrument or two spoons to clap together. It is, for any average mortal, all very noteworthy (pun explicitly intended). Sadly, Michiel is of Great Musical Heritage. Hence, nobody in his right mind expects any less of him than what was just described. He just fell from the Music Tree and hit every branch on the way down. Simple as that.
But there are two things to his credit, things that make Michiel into the phenomenon that he is.
First: his ability to not just perform, but to entertain. Skills on their own are as useless as a racecar with an empty fuel tank. But bring together a crowd of 15+ people, whisper in Michiel's ears that they need a show and all other considerations flee the room in disgrace. Deadlines, conference calls, P&L sheet revisions all cease to be of importance, as the Entertainment Animal takes over. It's hard to describe. Just make sure you're there next time, and we'll discuss.
Second: Michiel is an initiator, Or an instigator, whichever you prefer. He may wake up one day and think: 'there are not enough party bands focusing on lesser known soul music. I need to fill that void." And it will happen, as it has before and will do many times over before Creation finally gets too tired of him and kills him in a bizarre landslide some 60 years from now.
Well, that mystery is now unravelled, and analyzed into oblivion. I promise you, it will not take away for the joy of seeing him live. Count on that!
