»Fallen oder Springen« / »Fall or Jump« Tour 2016
Am 19. Mai 1974 trat im Kölner Sendesaal des WDR zum ersten Mal ein bis dahin hierzulande unbekannter, holländischer Universal-Entertainer auf, der kaum deutsch sprach, aber singen konnte wie ein junger Gott. 42 Jahre später begibt Herman van Veen sich auf seine neue, mittlerweile elfte Deutschland-Tournee, die er »Fallen oder Springen« nennt. Er sagt: »Dieses Motto passt außergewöhnlich gut zu meinem Alter. Es war und wird auch immer die wichtigste Entscheidung meines Lebens bleiben, ob ich mich einfach nur fallen lasse oder aktiv springe«.
Mit seinen 70 Jahren fühlt er sich zwar »im Winter seines Lebens angekommen«, ist aber nach wie vor voller Tatendrang und spielt regelmäßig über 100 Konzerte pro Jahr. Und nach wie vor ist Herman van Veen in seinem Genre einzigartig. Die Kreativität des Sängers, Liedermachers, Geigers, Clowns, Kabarettisten, Komponisten, Poeten und Malers ist unerschöpflich. Mit leisen Tönen und geistreichen, rätselhaften wie verrückten Worten verzückt er sein Publikum seit Jahrzehnten in den Niederlanden, in Frankreich, Belgien, Luxemburg, in Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz und auch in Südafrika.
