Sicko Hoogterp
DADGAD Guitar, Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Spoons and Singing
Sicko has been part of JSF since 2017. With that he is back, after all kinds of musical wanderings, to his roots: finely cut folk. At a young age, Sicko exchanged the saxophone for the guitar. Soon he is making a furore with folk group Grimbeert, followed by a "rough period" as a singer / lead guitarist in various (Frisian) rock bands. The Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster were swapped for piano and paintbrush afterwards. But the love for acoustic (folk) music has always remained, "I came home to JSF musically".
Sebastian Meijer
Violin, Viola, Vocal, Percussion, Piano and (Bass) guitar
The youngest of the bunch; Sebastian (Bas), is a special case. This talented musician was born in Zimbabwe and almost came out of the womb with a violin attached. There are photos and film material from him, only 4 years old, with a violin in his hands. Name a song or melody he has heard and he plays it! In addition, Bas also plays piano, guitar, percussion and he always sings the harmonies.
Menno Schilstra
Vocal, Guitar, Bass, Bouzouki, Cajon, Bodhrán, Harmonica, Whistles and Sound Technician
The first introduction to music for Menno was the harmonica at age 8, taken from a school trip to Schiermonnikoog. A few years later he took an interest in keyboard and he learned to play songs on his own. Still something gnawed and through the blues, he finally chose guitar and vocals. Due to the interest in Irish music and especially the sound of the uillean pipes (Irish bagpipe), low whistle and bass guitar were added at a later stage.
