With his authentic vocal sound, layered songs, and inspiring performance, Joost Zweegers, better known as Novastar, manages to strike a deeper chord with his audience. Big hits like *Wrong* and *The Best Is Yet To Come* illustrate the enormous impact Joost has on the Dutch and Belgian music scene. Every night, these songs are heard in an innovative, yet always breathtaking version.
For years, Joost has been asked by fans for a career overview featuring his greatest hits from his rich oeuvre. The answer to that question was always as short as it was clear: no. It was Mikey Rowe & Andrew Britton, the English producer duo with whom Joost has been collaborating for some time, who convinced him to do it anyway. A top team of musicians was assembled featuring pianist Mikey Rowe (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds), guitarist Andy Britton (Top Gear soundtracks), guitarist Skin Tyson (Robert Plant), drummer Keith Prior (David Gray), and bassist Erik Rademakers (Selah Sue). Together with this British band, he entered the famous Studio 2 of the Abbey Road Studios, the exact same place where his great heroes, The Beatles, recorded their greatest successes. Novastar at Abbey Road. The circle is complete. In his new show, Joost returns to the essence: alone on stage, with his piano, guitar, and his distinctive voice. In this pure setting, Novastar's songs take on an even more intimate charge, and the emotional power of his repertoire comes fully into its own.
