The song "Roller Coaster" changed Danny Vera's life. It became an instant classic and, after years of hard work, brought him the recognition he craved as a musician. Writer Nando Boers has been at the very heart of Danny Vera's life for the past two years. He frequently spoke with him at his home in Middelburg, traveled with him throughout the Netherlands in the backseat of Vera's Mercedes, hung out with him and his band in dressing rooms night after night, and was present in the studio every day during the intimate recording sessions for Vera's new album in Curaçao and Middelburg. Boers has attended more than sixty shows over the past two years. Here We Go is the record of the unusual musical life of the usually very private Vera – a story about loyalty, family, musical joy, fatherhood, death and the magnolia, and the pursuit of total independence.
Nando Boers is a writer and journalist, working primarily for Studio Sport and Andere Tijden Sport. He has published works including "Het plan" (over 35,000 copies sold) and "Op gevoel" (over 40,000 copies sold). Here we go: Two years on the road with Danny Vera will be published in the fall of 2025.
