Lab Grounds

Lab Grounds proudly presents: The Playgrounds Sessions!

This summer, we will open our cosy garden again and every two weeks we will serve you the best live music, the tastiest food and the coldest drinks to create an amazing evening together. Each session, we invite a couple of artists who will take you on a musical journey into their wonderful world.

This weekend we kick off summer in a big way, as we open the building for three days of numerous activities and performances during HBS Fest.

Starting at 17.00, amazing performances are scheduled by

Brian Murphy:
Brian Murphy calls himself a troubadour, avoids the label singer/songwriter, and reluctantly describes his music as alternative folk. After discovering music in England, he moved to Rotterdam at 12, where his sound continued to evolve. His cat remains his most loyal muse.

Daniëlle Santos Gomes
Daniëlle Santos Gomes is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Rotterdam who blends R&B, soul, jazz, folk, and Cape Verdean influences into original songs. Driven by curiosity, she crafts powerful stories that inspire and move.

Coming to Lab: STICKY WICKED

Electric jazz, funk and jazz rock are the keywords in Sticky Wicked’s repertoire. At Lab Grounds, they will present us their positively received debut album ‘Nightfall’, released in June 2024 by ZenneZ Records.

Sticky Wicked’s compositions sound original, fresh, dynamic and modern, clearly inspired by decades of the best examples in jazz, rock, funk and electronic music. The band members are among the top musicians on the Dutch session scene and have played with many well-known Dutch and international groups and artists from pop and jazz. With Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, John Scofield and Jeff Lorber as great examples, you’ll know what to expect. So get ready for an evening full of passion, energy and improvisation!
