Wander

WANDER is the musical duo of Babs van Bree and Renée Steenvoorden. Their voices blend into a harmony that moves and gently brings you to stillness. With their own songs, they create an intimate atmosphere where folk, jazz, and pop come together.

WANDER’s music evokes artists such as The Staves, Joni Mitchell, and Agnes Obel; warm, layered, and sincere. During their concerts, Babs and Renée take the audience on a musical journey full of harmony and vulnerability, where every note tells a story. WANDER is about wandering, discovering, and finding your own path; about slowing down, listening, and connecting. Their performances invite you to pause, breathe, feel, and be truly present in the moment.

Both musicians hold a master’s degree in jazz vocals from the conservatory: Babs studied in Maastricht and Cologne, and Renée in Maastricht and Brussel

WANDER was founded in 2019 by Babs, Renée, and Robbert Suilen. Together, they released two albums: Songs from the Garden (2021) and For What May Come (2025). They have performed at venues such as Theater De Maaspoort (Venlo), Jazz Maastricht (Maastricht), Cultuurhuis Heerlen (Heerlen), De Roode Bioscoop (Amsterdam), the MIM (Brussels), and Jazzkeller (Krefeld, Germany).

Since July 2025, WANDER continues as a duo. Their music has become even more intimate: Babs accompanies on piano, while Renée plays guitar and violin. The focus now lies on their vocal harmony; pure, close, and heartfelt.

WANDER is an ode to wandering, discovery, and connection; a musical journey filled with harmony, stillness, and authenticity.

“WANDER is something you need to experience.”
