About this user
Art For Art's Sake is a semi-acoustic band, consisting of Art (vocals, guitar, slide), Sieb (bass, guitar, vocals), Onno (keys, guitar, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, vocals) and Paul (electric guitar, violin). We like to play songs that have something to say: a story to tell or a message to get across. Since so many interesting songs have been written in the course of time, our repertoire consists mostly of material by other songwriters, and we play each and every one of these songs as a tribute to the original artist. We regularly post our latest videos, showcasing them in the Video Log playlist and the Recent Uploads playlist. Feel free to rate them and/or comment on them - and we're not just looking for compliments!
Check out Art's choice of playlists!
These are mostly (but not always) arranged in chronological order, providing an overview of the artist's work. The playlists are regularly updated with new material as it becomes available on the net, and they are obviously compiled according to Art's personal taste. Thanks to all the contributors who put out so much valuable and historic material! Keep it coming, folks...
Among the Favourites you'll find many of the original or live versions of songs we are working on; just so you know what to expect in our own videos shortly. So keep watching this space!
