Jack Poels (62, America, Noord-Limburg), is known as singer/guitarist of Rowwen Hèze (started in 1985). After 35 years of highlights (awards, international festivals, tours and gigs up to Heineken Music Hall, an oeuvre full of hits of which no less than seven reached the Top2000 this year, coming from 23 albums that sold almost a million copies combined), Jack Poels will release his very first solo album on March 27 on Snowstar Records. He will be joined live by Jan Hendriks (Doe Maar) and Bart Jan Baartmans. This small band makes sure the poetic lyrics glow even more and shed light on the sometimes dark paths of life. The album 'Blauwe Vear' contains twelve Dutch / Limburgian ballads that breathe wisdom, paint colorfields and testify to sincerity. Songs that will surely make fans of the quieter work of Rowwen Hèze enthusiastic. 'Blauwe Vear' is an honest album full of modest americana music with small words about big emotions. No polka but melancholy; acoustic songs to listen to from a man with a guitar and a story.
