About / Biography

A musical theatre performance about the life story of David Bowie

Who was David Bowie? Do you know who inspired the Thin White Duke? What do you know about his Berlin period, or his later albums? And did you know he scored a major hit in the UK as recently as 2013?

Many famous artists admire Bowie so much that they’ve had him tattooed on their bodies. Others continue to perform his songs live—just as Bowie himself regularly played songs by other legendary artists.

The show is compact and flexible. Thanks to Robert Harms’ solo setup, it delivers the sound of a full band without complex technical requirements. The performance works perfectly in small to medium-sized venues while still making a big impact on the audience. That’s why Bowie Who is ideal for theatre programming that values both quality and efficiency.

During the performance, Robert Harms takes you on a musical journey through the life and music of David Bowie.

If you want to experience all of this musically, don’t miss a live performance of Bowie Who!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

The best gig was Ahoy Rotterdam during a Golden Earring farewell gig. Also a gig for someone who had cancer in a living room with 7 people. The man died three days after the gig but he had such a great evening. I'll never forget that gig.


What's your favourite type of event?

Every event where I can get the people happy and that's what always happens.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I always worked in a cultural environment. Last job was for the council of culture in the Netherlands. I started playing guitar when I was 8 years old and this is the best thing that happend to me. At the age of 16 i started with singing lessons.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Greatest song of all time is hard to mention but I guess that Lazarus from David Bowie is unforgettable. Same is for Rock roll suicide from David Bowie but I like Oasis and the RHCP very well. In fact I like al kinds of music.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I can setup in 15 minutes and even faster if there is a PA available. With my own equipment it will be between 15 minutes and half an hour. No Soundcheck is necessary. No worries, no noises, quit and fast.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes I like to play outside. One of my outside gigs in Leuven Belgium was unforgettable. The crowd was so enthusiastic that the threw off there shirts.. Even the woman did that and sang and danced in their bra's. Yes l like outside very well.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients have a say in what I play, very important because I want to make a good show and want to do what clients expect.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Check the reviews, 5 stars everywhere, they are always surprised because I play different from other artists. I play with a looper with self recorded parts. No one does it like I do and no one sounds the same.


Do you need a soundcheck

No, everything is ready to play.
