Simplon UP:
Honingbeer + Small Town Bandits

Honingbeer creates her own dreamy, pastel-colored and melancholic world. She makes dreamy soundscapes using a violin and electronics that let you rediscover the possibilities of the violin. Honest, sweetly melancholic, inspired by what touches her the most and an intimate ode to nature. The music touches upon genres like ambient, neo-classical and minimal. On the 17th of February she released her new EP called “Opia” with the Berlin-based label Bigamo. Recommended if you like Nils Frahm, Mary Lattimore and Kara-Lis Coverdale.

Small Town Bandits – Groningen based folk pop band that conquers many hearts with catchy choruses and dreamy harmonies. The band is known for their energetic live performances that fuse contemporary pop music with folky influences from the 1970s. The band has been in the finals of the ‘Grote prijs van Nederland’ and they were participants in the Hit the North trajectory. After a short absence they are back with new songs that will keep singing around in your head for hours.
