The "Cirque/Circus" that makes a perfect landscape to package the music in, was the last work of art that renaissance man and TV-personality Jeroen van Merwijk completed, just a few weeks before he passed away. That probably does not mean a lot to most of you, but fact is that Mitchell has an eye and ear for talent. His Secret Combination is like a Dutch supergroup with members he recruited from leading Dutch bands.
2021 sees the release of the eagerly awaited follow up album to The Secret Combination’s 2008 release ”Live at Paradiso”.
The band around singer/songwriter Jeff Mitchell, have worked hard on 4 sides of music that showcase the musical directions that this Dutch supergroup has explored over the years.
With guitar hero René -Tres Manos- van Barneveld (Urban Dance Squad, Gaga, Fatal Flowers) and pedal steel player Johan- Steel JJ- Jansen (who performed and recorded with the likes of Heather Myles, Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth, Lucille Starr, Dale Watson) the band can lean on two internationally renowned pickers. in the Netherlands Toni Peroni (drums), Chip Visser (bass/vocals) and Rob van Vliet (keys/vocals) are much in demand musicians with a history or career in successful bands like Het Goede Doel, Slagerij van Kampen or The Secret Sounds. Together they deliver the perfect soundscape (ranging from americana to more straight forward pop) for the voice and songs of Jeff Mitchell to shine.
The album is packaged in a true body of art, the last work finished by iconic Dutch TV personality, lyricist, singer and painter Jeroen van Merwijk who passed away just weeks before the offical release of Finally.
