Garden State, the Jersey Shore Sound
"Recensie optreden Garden State
band tijdens de opening van het
Doelum Live seizoen 25/26
29 september 2025 .
Garden State leverde in Doelum Live een overtuigend en hartverwarmend concert af. De combinatie van een hechte band, sterke zang en een enthousiast publiek maakte deze zondagmiddag tot een feest voor liefhebbers van de energieke, melodieuze Jersey Shore Sound. Met hun vakmanschap en hun vermogen om mensen letterlijk in beweging te brengen, bewees Garden State dat ze een podium van elk formaat kunnen laten bruisen. Wie er niet bij was, heeft ongetwijfeld een levendige
concertmiddag gemist."

But we did have a chance to enjoy your beautiful performance 🤍 Thank you so much! We got great feedback from our attendees, they really enjoyed your music and it was a beautiful night! Hopefully we will come back to Amsterdam in the future and can find ways to collaborate again. (Mindvalley 2025 @ Vondelpark Paviljoen Amsterdam)"
