Jack Poels, the leader of Dutch Americana band Rowwen Hèze, will release his debut solo album Blauwe Vear ("Blue Feather) on March 27. When he picked up a feather of an Eurasian jay on his way to his recording studio it served as a catalyst for writing the songs for the album. The title track draws comparisons between this bird's flying skills and his son's first big trip to Korea. As parent he encouraged him to do so, but now that he is actually gone, a sense of doubt crept in. The video was made by Rob Hodselmans.
Blauwe Vear is released via Snowstar Records. The Blauwe Vear album (vinyl, CD, digital) is available for pre-order. Release date: March 27.
