Streamborn: The 2026 Music Streamer Showcase brings together musicians who built their audiences on the Twitch streaming platform for a free, non-profit weekend of live shows, open mic, and community hangouts. After two editions in Haarlem, we're now bringing it up north to De Neushoorn in Leeuwarden (28–29 August 2026). What started as a small get-together of distant friends in 2024 has grown into a recurring highly anticipated community festival, celebrating the underrated talent and loyal communities built on Twitch. And this year, for the first time, Streamborn opens the door to the local music community too. More information about the event and lineup here: https://streamborn.org/

Two artists from two continents share the stage for an evening of songs and stories. When germany based singer-songwriter Luna Keller started planning her first Canada tour, fellow indie artist Genesis Ritchot was among the first she reached out to. Back in march 2025 the two artist released their collab song "Paper Dreaming" (more than 100k streams on Spotify), but they only met in person once and shortly in a hotel lobby in Switzerland. Now they'll have the chance to finally share a stage and play their song together. This will be a delightful and cozy evening filled with goosebumps, introspective lyrics, singalongs, beautifully played acoustic guitars and maybe even songwriting on stage. Luna Keller is a Spanish/German singer-songwriter who calls her songs friends and travels the world with them. The defining trait of her sound is her disarming openness as she navigates the challenges of being human. As one of her fans wrote: “I find my own pain in Luna’s songs, she turns it into something better and lovable.” As a self-described songwriter-holic, Luna has written over 700 songs (not counting her many random word songs written on stage with the audience). Her music has made it into ads (Starbucks), TV series (Netflix), films (Hallmark), and many blogs and playlists (Indie Folk Central, Alexrainbird). Luna is currently releasing singles from her 3rd album “Death and all her Enemies”. Genesis Ritchot is a Canadian indie-folk singer-songwriter who composes songs with impressive lyrical content and harmonious, catchy melodies, sometimes folky and tender, sometimes haunting, rocking and powerful. Genesis' lyrics are tasteful arrangements and comprehensible emotional songwriting. He tells us in his diverse songs his life experiences and desires of his young life. Despite his consistently very positive and optimistic attitude towards life, he's also adept at blending in his doubts, insecurities, and fears in his songs when they arise. With the help of music, Genesis is able to process his emotions and be his best self.
