My friend Gerard gave me a tip this weekend about a group from the Netherlands, Vander and Bloom.   He and his daughter attended one of their concerts in Ultrecht last week and really enjoyed the show.  After listening to a couple of their songs I can understand why….they have a really nice nice folk sound and have written some great songs.  It doesn’t hut that they are also quite attractive :-).

As you can tell from the pictures above the group has been paying their dues by traveling around the Netherlands in a van and playing small concerts.  You have to appreciate that kind of commitment!   They have released two albums, as best I can tell.  You can find them on Amazon.  Let’s listen to a song from each…..

Brilliance Of You from Simple Peace Of Mind (released 20010)

Not Like You from Shouldn’t Say This (released 2012)

I think Vonder and Bloom has a shot at hitting it big.  What about you?

If you aren’t convinced yet….look for them on YouTube and listen to a few more songs.  I think you will change your mind.

Hopefully we can convince Gerard to comment on this post and share a little more information about the concert he attended.
