Hi all, two brilliant musicians have confirmed to do a clinic at the festival: Wolfgang Zenk (7for4) and Joost van den Broek (After Forever)!
Joost van den Broek has sky-rocketed into the progressive rock and metal scene. Hes just 22 years old, and already played and worked with some of the greatest bands and artists in the genre, such as STAR ONE and AYREON, SUN CAGED, VANDENBERG and ANAND and his current employer AFTER FOREVER. His major influences are Derek Sherinian, Steve Vai, Arjen Lucassen, Muse, Jamiroquai, and Devin Townsend. Joost studied at the conservatorium in Enschede (Music Production and Keyboards), and is a true virtuoso on keys, synths and the keytar (his shoulderkeyboard). One of the things he enjoys is producing the fattest and weirdest sounds on his instruments, and at Headway Festival he will tell you everything about that.
Wolfgang Zenk became known as guitar player and composer of SIEGES EVEN (GER), during the period in which the highly praised albums Sophisticated and Uneven were released. Since many years, Wolfgang is director of Munich Guitar Institute MGI, where he also teaches. Wolfgang says to be influenced by guitar players like Greg Howe, Steve Vai, Frank Gambale, David Gilmore, Mark Knopfler, and Scott Henderson. This diversity and his wide experience also shows in his recent group 7FOR4 (GER). 7For4 take the best from funk, jazz, metal, even latin and country, and blend these styles into extraordinary compositions, played with great virtuosity and energy. The band have released two brilliant albums Contact and Time, and at Headway, you can ask and see how to play that explosive material.
So, one or maybe two bands to go now... hope to see you in April!
