The bands performing in the Entreezaal, the stage by the main entrance, have the important task of stimulating and enthusing visitors as soon as they enter. These bands have to arouse people, stimulating their appetite for more swing, more jazz, more blues. 12 and 15, those are the ages of the Stadhouder brothers, guitarists of the young quartet Solar. Together with bass player Sander and drummer Janneke the group has quite the musical resume. Solar played as opening act for jazz guitarist Russell Malone and Jan Akkerman, and they performed during the Night of Guitar and the Mundial Festival. Guitarists like Pat Metheny and Jimi Hendrix are honored in their repertoire, but Solar also plays pieces by Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea.
