Since 2011 Leif de Leeuw and his band have been welcome guests in Wijk bij Duurstede. Initially with singer Britt Jansen, but Britt became Sem and turned out to be a charismatic and talented singer/guitarist.
The new unique show “Who the f*ck is Britt”? tells the poignant story of Sem’s transition from woman to man. In a 1.5-hour show, he takes the audience through his process via singing songs, complemented by video footage and stories. And, most notably, he will duet with his former self who will be present on the video screen. All this will be accompanied live by his band, which consists of the musicians of the Leif de Leeuw Band. Sem will play small narrative Americana songs with the band.
