Body AND Soul

About Body AND Soul

Singer Mark Stouwdam and guitarist Peter Schilmöller - have been ‘soul mates’ for quite a few years. Initially as a duo that brought covers and later as a duo that started to write their own music, which resulted in their first EP "That Is What We Do" (Twenty-Two Records 2016).

Their music can be described as a jazzy Americana sound, influenced by a broad arsenal of other music genres. Inspired by @Jason Mraz, @James Taylor, John Legend and The Bros. Landreth, among others, the duo makes an effortless mix of modern pop music with retro elements. Mark Stouwdam takes a small art influence with them with his experience as an actor, while Peter Schilmöller ensures the cross-overs in their music through his broad musical talent. The audience appreciates the voice of Mark as a warm voice like that of Raul Midón, and is touched by the narrative guitar playing and the subtle accompaniment with which Peter complements. The formation is gladly listened to by a wide audience, at home and abroad. Wether they are, originally, on the stage with just the two of them or accompanied with a number of good musicians, the audience is always surprised by the impact on which the music from Body & Soul arrives.

The new Body & Soul album ("No Turning Back", Isolde Records 2020) includes musicians Matthijs van Noort (keyboards), Frans Vollink (bass), Peter Weissink (drums) and Martin Verdonk (percussion) among others.
