SABINE'S GEAR
Just a voice...

SABINE'S EXISTENCE
Born in Warmond, the same year as the release of Fireball. Sabine started singing in a church choir at the age of 7. Later, her love for music was stimulated by her music teacher of the Agnes College (Leiden), a school which has been very important for the musical foundation of many students. It was there where Sabine had her first 'real' performance - singing 'Russians' (Sting) and 'Fever' (Peggy Lee).

In 1989 she joined the conservatory (jazz). As time went by she gained experience by singing punk, (heavy) rock, blues, jazz, pop, soul and occasionally classic songs.
Besides joining in often and several (annual) projects, Sabine had/has the pleasure of making music with (among others):

• Same Player Shoots Again (1990-1994) pop/rock covers / own work
• Jazzcapade (1990-1994) jazz standards
• Anouskha Big Sessie Band (1995-1999) pop/rock covers
• Streetwise (1997-2001) pop/rock covers / own work
• Bach (1999-2002) heavy rock covers
• LOOS (1994-2005) Dutch songs / own work
• Eyes Can't See Project (2003-2006) rock musical - own work
• Purple Rainbow (2001-present) Deep Purple/Rainbow tribute
• CHARGE ME UP (2006-present) rock covers
• Jazzmine (2007-present) jazz standards

HOW SABINE JOINED PURPLE RAINBOW

Sabine already played together with Mario in the Anouskha Big Sessie Band - 1995. It was there where they first played 'Child in Time' together. After this band quit they started the (heavy) rock cover band BACH. She finally could sing her all time favorite 'Highway Star'! Apparently she did a good job, because - not much later - Mario called her if she would like to join Purple Rainbow. A huge compliment! :-)
