Bram van Langen, Dutch songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, is an avid performer: playing a minimum of 100 shows each year for the past ten years, the stage is his happy place. Performing his own songs or as a side man in other acts, most recently the indie songwriters @theCoo and @Lewin, he has traveled all over Europe on long tours, discovering new friends and stories in countries along the way. Off stage, Bram looks for the calm and quiet - places to gather his thoughts, which are many, and escape from the pressure and pace of our loud modern world. When, on a tour, he discovered the long quiet beaches and overwhelmingly beautiful nature of Sweden, he became a regular visitor, soaking up a culture and language that felt more organic, calm and introverted. Bram is a thinker, sensitive to the smallest gestures and moments - in his music this translates to carefully weighed notes, and words chosen for their sound and cadence as much as their meaning, wrought into a finely tuned poetic structure that makes one come back to listen even closer. Inspired by artists like @Nick Drake, @Paul Simon and @Paul McCartney he has a similar affinity for pleasing melodies and warm, mesmerizing harmonies in which the listener can find a calm place to wander.
