Jan's facts

Jan van Bijnen started his career as guitar player in numerous rock-, jazz-, (alt.)country- and
bluesbands. He does like crossovering styles and plays a wide variety of instruments from the
guitar-a-like mandolin or dobro to an incidental trumpet.

He plays all around the country (and some German and U.S.dates, too!) with Markowski,
an award winning 'rootsy pop with country flavor'-band surrounding
singer/songwriter Sonja Markowski.

Already studying at the Rotterdam Conservatory, he played a three year touring gig playing both guitar and piano (and sing as well), for famous Dutch comedian Paul Haenen.
He played the Prinses Theater Dinner Show Rotterdam for a year and in musical
Assassins at traveling theaterfestival De Parade 2003.

Jan van Bijnen is frontman of Lazy J et son Orchestre. He plays guitar and sings with
coverband Men's Best Friend and vocal group Sentimental Journey.
He works with percussionist Ernesto Arrendell at multimedia-theatershows Ocean Dream, Watermusic and DoodStil and as a freelance multi-instrumentalist on stage and the
recording studio.

On top of that Jan teaches electric guitar and bandskills at the
Gemeentelijke Muziekschool Krimpen aan den IJssel.
