Holland needed to wait over ten years for the return of golden boy Peven Everett.

Some have likened him to the Prince of independent soul and dance music, a multi-instrumental child prodigy who played several instruments by age ten, Peven Everett has always been the underground's genius with a cult status that sometimes reaches mythical stages. As he got soul by the pound, eighteen projects over the last 13 years, including nine official commercial releases, Everett lives up to his Prince comparisons in his prolificness, if not always in vocal consistency and appeal. Make shure u witness him live & direct at Boogieman 28^th of April
