Chromatic harmonica player Hermine Deurloo and pianist Erik Verwey are both musical storytellers who move on the borders between jazz, pop and classical.

After Hermine heard Erik's debut album People Flow, she called him for a recording session and it turned out to be a hit. Her melodic playing style turns out to fit perfectly with Erik's lyrical pieces.

The support of drummer Daniël van Dalen and bassist Hendrik Müller of the Erik Verwey Trio has led to a unique musical experience. About a Home is a musical narrative about being home, leaving and all that it entails.

Erik has written music inspired by this theme for Hermine's unique sound. Together the musical portraits form a story and are characterized as strongly melodic, spacious and dynamic. The sound of the harmonica evokes associations with film music. Cinematic improvisations are therefore a leading part of the music, with roots mainly in jazz and room for both Hermine and all three members of the trio.
