Grames Jeen sounds a little like James Dean! They have something in common. They are both
actors! In October of 2010, Grames Jeen acted in a play called "William Shakespeare's Land of
the Dead", a true and accurate account of the 1599 zombie plaque. The play was located at the
historic Brooks Theater of the Cleveland Play House, as a fund raiser to benefit the Cleveland
Shakespeare Festival. Grames was 6th in the billing, as "John Sinklo", and appeared as the
first zombie in the play.
John Sinklo, played by Grames Jeen, is the only zombie standing in this scene from the play.

Grames Jeen can be found at MANY Circa Paleo shows, especially at the Great Lakes
Medieval Faire at Geneva Ohio and the Michigan Renaissance Festival at Holly Michigan. Though
he is normally a spectator, he can get willingly called in to the band at times with a
tambourine, drums, or rainstick!

(early practice for Vervalsing!)
Grames Jeen is, of course, also a member of the ekaf band Vervalsing! He will continue
to help with production, creation, and performance for Vervalsing's "unique" sound! Grames is
one fourth Dutch so it is appropriate that his band name, Vervalsing, is extracted from the
Dutch language. Rumor has it that Grames has a real job too but we won't reveal that to keep
the media away from his place of work.
What does the future hold for Grames Jeen? We're keeping that mostly a secret to keep
some mysteries alive (plus we might not know). But, rest assured, Grames will continue to be
a welcome addition to any group of people!
That's the end of this Bio for now!
