Peter Willems' trio blends folk, pop, jazz standards, and rap into a distinctive sound. After winning the 2023 Maastricht Jazz Award, their eclectic mix is showcased in their debut album Double Dare, featuring Gary Lucas.

An eclectic mix of folk, pop, singer-songwriter songs, jazz standards, rap, and original material, all blended into one unique sound — their own sound. This is how Peter Willems' trio won the Maastricht Jazz Award in 2023, featuring Michal Niedbala on piano and Jakob Lingen on drums. Peter Willems, a young singer and bassist from Maastricht, has performed at festivals like North Sea Jazz and November Music. In 2019, he won second place at the Prinses Christina Jazz Competition, with the jury calling him a "star in the making." Recently, Willems released his well-received debut album Double Dare, featuring American guitarist Gary Lucas, Grammy-nominated and known for his work with Jeff Buckley and Captain Beefheart.
