What started out as a short visit to the Netherlands – which is the country where Palestinian surgeon and musician Doc Jazz was born and raised – ended up becoming quite a busy schedule with performances, interviews and radio appearances!

How did this happen? Well, one thing led to another … isn’t that how life goes sometimes? Therefore, despite the relatively late notice, we are proud to present the upcoming Doc Jazz Lowlands Tour!

What follows is a list of performances, including date, location and time, so that if you live in the Netherlands or in Belgium (the ‘Lowlands’), you can make sure to be there!

Tip: bookmark this page. Unexpected changes in the schedule will of course be announced through the website – and the first to know will be those who have Doc Jazz on Facebook and Twitter – but the information will also be updated on this page. There is also a version of this page in Dutch.

He works full-time as a surgeon, and produces his songs in his free time. He usually does all the instruments and vocals in his recordings by himself. His music, which covers a wide variety of genres ranging from funky pop and jazz all the way to rap and Arabic music, has been featured on many media outlets in the Netherlands, in the Middle East, and elsewhere. The Palestinian cause plays a big role in the themes of his songs.
