Nick Vernier Band is an alias (and anagram) for productions by Dutch musician and record producer Eric Van Den Brink. Although a 'one man band' in essence, the vision for Nick Vernier Band is to break down traditional genre boundaries and bring together artists from various backgrounds in a project that could serve as a platform for experimentation and collaboration.

 

So far, there have been contributions from members of The Beach Boys, America, Counting Crows, Plastic Ono Band, Space Opera, Manfred Mann and Matthew's Southern Comfort, among others. The collective's recordings consist mostly of original material plus songs by featured collaborators and selected cover versions. Additional sound engineers have included Daniel Duskin, Bill Gautier, Hank Linderman, Julia Wolff and Coen Berrier.

​

In addition to Nick Vernier Band's ongoing presence, the duo Eric & Ivory continues to make its mark as a dynamic musical collaboration. The band brings together vocalist/musician Jera Ivory and producer/musician Eric Van Den Brink. Since 2016, their joint creations have been released under both Jera Ivory's name and the Eric & Ivory moniker. Their sound is best described as eclectic, encompassing a wide range of genres - from jazz, rock, and singer-songwriter styles to blues and experimental music.
