Shehera Vega Sanchez

A powerhouse vocalist from Bergen op Zoom with a strong background in musical theatre. Passionate, driven, and born to perform, Shehera channels her love for Shania Twain with an authentic energy that lights up the stage. With her vibrant voice and natural stage presence, she brings country-rock classics to life like no other.

Hans van Terheijden

Hans is a true veteran of the trade. At just four years old, he was already banging on pots and pans, and later went on to study percussion. Active in music since the age of 15, he became the singer of Axitt, touring with the band and appearing on radio and television. Still, his passion for drums never faded. Due to a visual impairment that made performing on stage more challenging, Hans returned to the drums and has since played with bands such as Rebel, Vintage, and Sasquatch. As the founder of Don’t Be Stupid, he’s now fulfilling a lifelong wish: “One more time to really go for it as it can only go UP from here!”

Jack van Loenhout

Starting out as a classical and electric guitarist, Jack soon found his true calling on the bass. A dynamic player with a rich background in both tribute acts and original projects, Jack has laid down the groove for tributes to Herman Brood (Broot), Elvis Presley (Elfish & The Fishbones), Beth Hart (Beth Heart), and U2 (The Real Thing). Versatile across genres, Jack is known for his ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’ stage performance. He has also thrived with bands like The Next Thing and MissBehaviour. With a deep love for “Any Man of Mine”-style passion, Jack brings unstoppable energy to every performance—leaving audiences certain that he’s “Still the one” to watch.

Nick Leurs

Music is Nick’s second mother tongue. As a kid he played the organ with his grandfather, later he mastered the accordion, and today he rocks the piano with the best Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band in the Benelux: E Street Sound. He’s also a much-requested stand-in musician, jumping in with top acts like the Guus Meeuwis Tribute Band.
Completely enchanted by Shania Twain’s music, Nick brings energy, passion, and groove to every stage — leaping from instrument to instrument like it’s second nature.

Erik den Tuinder

A passionate guitarist from Tilburg, Erik blends acoustic roots with electric energy. After graduating from the conservatory, he began shaping his sound through collaborations in the local scene. With his project The Faction (founded in 2010), he brought original songs to life — fusing singer-songwriter warmth with rock and pop dynamics. Known for his expressive solos and strong sense of melody, Erik gives every performance a distinctive, emotional edge.

Robert van Voorden

In his teenage years, he fell under the spell of bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and ZZ Top — and that’s when the electric guitar found him. Inspired by guitar legends Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, he dove headfirst into the world of fast licks and fiery solos. After years of rocking hard on local and national stages throughout the ’90s, his musical journey took a new turn. Country, blues, and Americana became his next big love. Since then, he’s shared the stage with a wide range of artists from the Netherlands and beyond, bringing soulful strings and a distinctive sound to every performance.

René Bremer

For more than 30 years, René played guitar across the three northern provinces of the Netherlands in a “Top 100” party band. By the end of those three decades, the music scene had changed—or perhaps he had—and he no longer felt at home in that part of the music world.

He decided to step away from music completely. But, as the saying goes, “old habits die hard.” Out of sheer curiosity, he bought a pedal steel guitar, and from that moment on he was hooked on the instrument’s seemingly endless possibilities. At the same time, an old love resurfaced: COUNTRY music.

“And here we are,” as the Americans like to say—a Shania Twain Tribute Band.

Carmen Jacobs

Carmen’s musical journey began with classical violin, but everything changed when she discovered the fiery world of Gypsy jazz à la Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Since then, she’s improvised her way across jazz festivals worldwide, founded projects like Carmuze, and explored everything from Klezmer and Irish folk to ragtime and Balkan sounds. With her powerful 7-string electric Viper, she broke into the rock scene, while also thriving in theatre, cabaret, and a cappella. Today she continues to reinvent herself—swinging with jazz, grooving with bluegrass, and in Don’t Be Stupid adding violin, keys, percussion, and backing vocals to the mix.
