Else Lena + Maartje + Lot

On Friday 30 October, Else Lena, Maartje and LOT take the stage at De Kroepoekfabriek for an evening of poetic indie pop. All three write Dutch-language songs about life's challenges - artists who have outgrown the 'emerging talent' label.

Else Lena writes narrative, distinctive songs inspired by Ramses Shaffy, Wende and French chanson. As a child she turned poems and stories into songs at the piano. She previously performed in Vlaardingen at the Jazz in Town Festival; with her debut EP 'Verlangen en Verliezen' she has found a new sound.

Maartje sings about love, loss and the longing to be rescued from the ball pit - sharp-witted Dutch pop, sung from her core, with narrative candour and vocal boldness. She now speaks aloud what she once didn't dare, and also shares what she hasn't yet figured out.

LOT is a 23-year-old songwriter from Gelderland who writes poetic pop. Her debut single 'Alleen Vandaag' was released in late 2025.
