THE SOUL OF AMSTERDAM

Berget Lewis is the vocalist you can hear in all our JAMM FM radio jingles. After her successful CELEBRATE TINA theater tour, Berget will be back in theaters in 2026! And this time, she'll be celebrating the eighties with us. Berget had her best teenage years in the '80s, where everything revolved around music. She'll talk and sing about it, along with her fantastic live band. Artists like Prince and Chaka Khan, and plenty of guilty pleasures will be featured. With live band. It's going to be an evening full of nostalgia and sing-alongs, so don't miss this.

Two legendary Motown acts touring together! The Temptations (still featuring co-founder Otis Williams) have been around for over sixty years and were a well-oiled hit machine in the sixties and seventies. With "My Girl," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," and "Treat Her Like a Lady," they also scored major hits in the Netherlands. Their counterparts in The Four Tops (formed in 1953) were just as successful in the heyday of soul: "It's the Same Old Song," "Reach Out I'll Be There," and "Bernadette" are classics that almost anyone can sing along to. Immerse yourself in this wonderful piece of pop history!

American jazz and soul singer José James pays tribute to Marvin Gaye's legendary album "I Want You," which (not coincidentally) celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 2026. "I Want You" is a sensual classic that has influenced countless soul and R&B artists—think Prince, Maxwell, Sade, D'Angelo, and Kendrick Lamar. José James will be bringing a five-piece band, featuring a world-class lineup: guitarist Marcus Machado, pianist Bigyuki, bassist David Ginyard, and drummer Jharis Yokley. He will also be bringing along jazz singer China Moses (the daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater). Together, they will perform the entire "I Want You" album from start to finish. After the intermission, José James and China Moses will perform a selection of their own work inspired by Marvin Gaye. Don't miss this unique event!
