This Sunday you are welcome to relax, ponder, create and listen at the second edition of De Mijmerwerkplaats in De CLOU in De Bilt!
The last time (when Toby & Leslie, Boo Hoo and The World of Dust performed), quite a lot of people showed up and spent the evening drawing and doodling. These are some of the artworks of that night:
Doors open at 14H30, live music by Immen & Astral Swans start at 15H00. The address is Molenkamp 44, De Bilt, and entrance and drinks are based on donations.
Brace yourself, because the second edition of the Mijmerwerkplaats (“Musing Workshop”) is just around the corner! On Sunday afternoon, December 7th, the CLOU in De Bilt will once again offer a space to slow down, listen, and create. There will be pencils and paper available, as well as beautiful, calming music to contemplate—and, if you like, to doodle, sketch, or draw along with.
Strategically planned right after the busy Sinterklaas festivities (who wouldn’t want to unwind?), you’re welcome at the CLOU (Molenkamp 44, De Bilt) from 3:00 PM onward. Starting at 3:30 PM, there will be live music by Astral Swans (experimental folk from Canada) and Immen, the Frisian-language project of Clasine Haringsma from Utrecht—who performed at Into The Great Wide Open just a few months ago.
Admission is free; donations (via QR code or cash) are very welcome!
Just like last year, we’ll be present at the annual winter fair at the VechtclubXL. On November 23rd, you can find us selling Tiny Room Records vinyl, cds, tapes and zines. A good opportunity to buy something local as a Christmas or Sinterklaas present. And to help me get rid of these boxes!! 😅
Combo Qazam presents Patrick XXXXII
With the ‘Combo Qazam presents’ Patrick-shows we are hosting experimental, weird, funny, loud, quiet and great music by independent artists and great people.
For this edition we want to welcome you for a night of local free jazzy ambient, danceable electronica layering and USA country rock ‘n’ roll!
Hainesii
Hainesii is a project by Max van Westerop (of former local indie outfit Loema) in which themes of mortality, care and the heart are explored in songs, whilst drawing inspiration from genres like ambient music, post-rock and tinges of free/spiritual jazz.
Tobin Kirk
Tobin Kirk is an American songwriter and performer whose colorful path—from train driving to delivering groceries to John Prine—reflects the character and storytelling at the heart of his music. Tobin blends classic and cosmic country, rock & roll, and cowpunk into a sound that’s both timeless and fresh. His first two albums were released by our partners in Houten of De Groeverij!
Laplander
Laplander is a one-man band crafting indietronica with a melancholic edge. From the vast landscapes of the Biesbosch, where he lives, he builds tracks that are both layered and danceable.
Timetable-ish:
20.30 Hainesii
21.15 Tobin Kirk
22.00 Laplander
Entrance is € 8 (cash or QR). Drinks are cheap (cash or QR).
COME VIBE WITH US
Hope to see you there!

It’s time for a new Tiny Adventure! After a few years we’re back with this cool concept of Tiny Room hosted duo shows in record store De Groeverij.
Next Sunday, Boeije and Kristóf Hajós come to Houten for an intimate performance! (Rienko) Boeije will play his first solo show ever, so we can have a clear focus on his Dutch lyrics and stories. Folky reflections on faith, life and death. Very much looking forward to it.
Kristóf Hajós performs with a 5 piece semi-acoustic band, mostly songs from his latest album 6:00PM – crooner indie pop about what it’s like to grow old(er) in the queer community. It will be the last band show for a while, so don’t miss out!
It’s an afternoon show, you are welcome at 3PM.

This Friday, we’re celebrating 10 years of Tiny Room Records! The event will take place in Studio Patrick in Utrecht. Woohoo!
We’re bringing the special 2xLP Foundlings release, they look and sound BEAUTIFUL. Crowdfunders can join the party and pick up their copy. I’m sure we’re gonna have a good time together!
There are three acts playing, Coaster from Utrecht, Master Solo from the UK (first show in 9 years or so?!) and newest signing Herrek. Doors at 8PM, no need to buy a ticket beforehand. All donations during the evening are more than welcome. Hope to see you there!
Winsummerfest was the best! Thanks so much for having us over. We had a blast! The afternoon in the synagogue with Herrek, LUIK, Kristóf Hajós and Coaster was really lovely. It was also nice to see Coaster playing the big stage (with big sound) on Friday evening. And wh^rl and Boeije dropped more Tiny Room goodness on Saturday evening. Seeing Space Siren and Howrah is always great, as was meeting up with so many friends and music acquaintances. Big ups for this festival! ❤️
Tomorrow, we’re hosting our own stage at the awesome Winsummerfest!
The Tiny Room fellowship — this weekend consisting of Herrek, LUIK, Kristóf Hajós, Coaster, wh^rl, and Boeije — is heading up north to Winsum.
The first four acts will perform in the synagogue under the Tiny Room banner on Saturday afternoon, from 1 to 6 PM.
It’s all free! See you there 😎
