Twarres

Twarres is a musical duo hailing from the Netherlands, known for their emotive folk-pop sound with strong Friesian roots. Formed by singers Mirjam Timmer and Johan van der Veen in the late 1990s, the band quickly gained popularity in Friesland and subsequently in other parts of the Netherlands. Their initial success came with the hit single "Wêr Bisto" in 2000, a song sung in the West Frisian language, which remarkably climbed the Dutch music charts and struck a chord with a wide audience, leading to fame in Belgium and parts of Scandinavia as well.

Despite their early momentum, Twarres faced challenges with lineup changes and a hiatus. Johan van der Veen left the band and was replaced, but the essence of their melodic, acoustic-rooted music remained. Over the years, their discography has expanded to include songs in both West Frisian and English, showcasing their ability to blend regional influences with universal pop appeal. Tracks such as "Anyone Who Had A Heart," "She Won't Let Go," and "Fûgelfrij" are testament to their continued relevance in the contemporary music scene, embracing both their cultural heritage and a modern sound that resonates with a broad audience. The release of their album "2" and the single "Stream" reflect the band's enduring journey through the realms of music, marked by harmonious vocals and thoughtful story-telling.
