The Gentle Storm, featuring the talents of Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One, Guilt Machine) & Anneke van Giersbergen (The Gathering, Devin Townsend Project), released their debut album 'The Diary' last year to much critical acclaim. Since then, Anneke and her specially selected band have been busy touring the album and this year they will play some select shows, including South America in April and a final show in Amsterdam.
