Jack Poels, the leader of Dutch Americana band Rowwen Hèze, will release his debut solo album Blauwe Vear on March 27. In a change of pace from the Text-Mex and polka commonly associated with his band, it will be mostly acoustic, with just his guitar and voice as the main instruments. As per usual his singing in the Limburg dialect, the language of his native province. The second single In de achtertuin ("in the backyard") is a song about his son who just left the house for his first big trip to Korea. And while he is OK with that, Poels hopes to see him again soon so that they can pick up the conversation.
In de achtertuin is released via Snowstar Records. The Blauwe Vear album (vinyl, CD, digital) is available for pre-order. Release date: March 27.
