Ad Vanderveen is an artist whose music relays common themes, specifically, emotions and feelings that everyone, regardless of where life has taken them, can easily understand and relate to. His songs are soothing and yet engaging, flush with easily accessible melodies and sounds that ring with both passion and perseverance. 

His new album “Camino Wayside” is no exception, and boasts two very diverse examples in particular. One, titled “Nothingness Is All,” finds Ad take a jaunty, down-home country approach, flushed out with a hint of Dylan-esque delivery. Another, “Old Camino Road,” is a tender, touching reflection on life’s journey itself, shared with reflection and resolve:

“You gotta find your freedom, when you lose the load…”

One of Holland’s finest musical exports, Ad Vanderveen offers universal inspiration. True to  form, his new album rings once again with verve and variety. 

It’s long past time those unknowing come to discover what his fans and admirers have realized all along. Ad Vanderveen’s gift comes with his giving.
