Geertruida >> About

Geertruida is a century old house in Haarlem, The Netherlands. It functions as our home, our studio, our office. It's a record label, it's a record shop, it's a guitar shop, it's a place for musicians to sleep, hang, party and/or play a show.

We try to provide and arrange everything from an artist perspective, always putting the music first. The records we release are most of all the ones that we think deserve to be out there, the ones we would want to have in our own record collections.

If we're there, we're open. We'd love to have you over, look through our records, try out some guitars and/or pedals, attend a show, play a show, have a beer with us. You can reach us here.

Background photos were all taken by Bauke Karel at Geertruida Presents shows.

GEERTRUIDA PRESENTS

Since 2010 we've been organizing shows in the living room of our house. They are documented in photos by Bauke Karel, Kasper Vogelzang & Martijn Veenman and in 'DIY lo-fi' style video shot by the members of the audience. Check out our GeertruidaTV channel on YouTube for all the videos.
