Side projects include those with Cosmo Police (with Atsuko Kurokawa), Yuan Moons, Factory Men and Mettensee Quartet. Previous associations include activities as A&R-man and recording engineer for recordings with Jan Akkerman, Rob Bolland, David Vermeulen, [4] Colin Blunstone, Ian Gillan, and Herman Brood with Dick Dale, [5] Hans Dulfer, Candy Dulfer, Jules Deelder, Nina Hagen, and Trijntje Oosterhuis. [6] More current related productions include Style Detectives, the first new Monkees-related release in over a decade (produced under license from Rhino Entertainment, featuring vocal samples from the band), and Willem De Ridder. As an actor, Van Den Brink appeared in various TV series on Dutch television (ONM, GTST, Blauw Blauw, and Graffiti).

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.
