During some of our gigs here in the Netherlands some people from the audience asked us "Why don't you come up with a Dutch show?".
So far we only performed in English.
And now we're building up a repertoire.
Here's one of the songs.
We embedded the English subtitles for your convenience :-)
It's sort of a sing along.

BIAB created a fine sax solo, we think!

ZINGEN met JOU

Hope you like it.
Comments are welcome.

Impressive ... I can't even speak one language well, and here you are writing, singing, recording, producing in two! Thanks for adding the English words so I could understand. Fun song.

Rob & Anne-Marie,
You captured the upbeat singalong feel with the lyrics, music and performance very well.
A good video & a fun idea for your shows- maybe we`ll see a recording of one here in future?

haha. Great opening with the cat "playing" the piano. The whole video is great. Thanks for adding the English, but, man, I wish I knew the language so I could watch and not read. Well, listening a couple times is very enjoyable. What a wonderfully fun song and clever video. Anne-Marie, your vocal is always so good and engaging. Great band and mix is crystal clear. I love the sound of Dutch.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Your harmonies are divine.

“I’ll let music cheer me up.” Yes, indeed! This song certainly does cheer us both.

Great vocals and the band (excellent sax solo) and mix supported the song very well.

We enjoyed the video too, especially the dog and cat actors!

Hi Anne-Marie and Rob,

You made a very funny video for a very beautiful, typical Dutch song. You sing it very clearly with smooth harmonies.
It left a big smile on my face, after the song ended. Of course not because of the cats and dogs, only because of the song!
Was it you doing this all by yourself Anne-Marie? Haven't read about Rob.

Your singing in Dutch is very pleasant, so there you have your road to a lot more succes!
By coincidence I also wrote a Dutch song again. I think we posted it at the same time on this forum. Very funny.

In Dutch: Goed en prettig gedaan, mevrouw!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
