Joost Dijkema. Pronounced “Yowst Dykuh-ma”.
The dutchman saw the light of day in 1989. Although originally a drummer, he picked up the guitar when a teenager and it quickly became his main focus. After hearing Leo Kottke’s 1969 album ´6- & 12-string guitar’ and Michael Chapman’s ‘Time Past And Time Passing’ he was determined to develop the fingerstyle guitar technique. From then on the guitar was his guide through some messy years.

The introspective aftermath resulted in his first solo guitar record ‘Sacred Revelations’ (LP/CD/Digital) in 2016 on the local record label Twin Dimension Records. Playing 6- and 12-string guitars with a spontaneous approach to composing, ‘Sacred Revelations’ was an artistic reflection on the ‘wasted years’ and his personal redemption. Long, deep instrumentals like ‘The Sun Behind The Mountain’, ‘Heathland Home’, ‘Both Sides Have Two Sides’ and ‘Cutting Loose’ go hand in hand with heartbreaking ballads with vocals like the title cut, ‘Gold Wing’ and ‘To Be Here No More’. The record received some rave reviews locally, nationally and internationally. (See Reviews)
