RSON was occasionally formed for a festival concert and continued making music during the pandemic by recording covers and producing clips remotely. They gained popularity playing all around The Netherlands as a coverband. Meanwhile their creativity led them to develop a unique sound by putting their own ’spin’ on well-known hit songs. However, this wasn't enough, so they embarked on a new adventure by writing their own original songs that reflected their distinct style. The band consists of Sonja van der Pijl and Bart Verhoeven on vocals, Hans Esser on bass, Eric Nootebos on guitar, Maarten de Krosse on keys, and Jimmy Rouwenhof on drums.

They delve into the notion of distinct journeys, aspirations, and conclusions, contemplating the potential outcomes if these parallel trajectories were to merge.
