IRIS PENNING
Iris Penning makes poetic pop.
With her recognizable clear voice, she brings together the power of language and melody. The musician is also a poet, and was City Poet of Eindhoven from 2020 to 2024. She has performed thousands of times on stage, at festivals, pop venues and theaters throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. She has four albums to her name, the most recent being „Dan Maar Genieten“. For this album she collaborated with Huub Reijnders, Martijn Bosman, Philip Lassiter and many other wonderful names. The album received rave reviews.
She recently released her first book of poetry with a collection of the works she wrote as City Poet, „Am I standing here being a sweater among all the neckties“.
Iris began writing poems in grade 3, music in junior high, and performing and entrepreneurship at 15. Iris loves to stay busy, with many projects: for example, she made a font from her handwriting, hosted a radio show, handmade hundreds of poetry collections, printed poetic cards to advocate for inclusive love, and presents a cultural program called „Makeable.“
Whatever she does, music is and remains her greatest love. On stage, she feels at home.

HÄUFIG GESTELLTE FRAGEN / FAQ
IS THIS A CONCERT OR DINNER MUSIC?
Quite clearly: concert! With the concerts we want to promote newcomer musicians with their own music, bring new music to the people, eat something good and have a great time with other people. For this to work, you should also listen to the bands at the concert and get involved with the music. This way the artists are not disturbed in their performance and the other guests are not disturbed while listening – and nothing stands in the way of a unique concert evening for everyone!
ESSEN & TRINKEN?
Ruby Emma offers a bar with a wide selection of drinks at moderate prices. For the small hunger there is a selection of snacks. However, cash payment is not possible.
WHAT IF I DON’T GET ANY TICKETS?
That is of course a pity! But you can still come, because there are always tickets available. Put yourself on the waiting list and get a message when there are free seats.
WHY ADMISSION FREE?
We want that really every person has access to great live music events. Above all, this should not fail because of money. And that’s why we don’t charge admission to any of our concerts. Of course, we also have to cover our costs and pay fair fees to the musicians for their performances. That’s why we pass around our ARTIST’S HAT at all our concerts. You are welcome to donate money to the artist. Of course only if you like it and your situation allows it! This way you can do something good for the artist and for other concert visitors who otherwise don’t have enough money to visit concerts. The content of the hat is 100% for the benefit of the artists.
