Blaudzun

Johannes Sigmond, a Dutch singer and songwriter, performs under the name Blaudzun, crafting anthemic indie pop suited for the open road. This sound merges the sweeping scope associated with Arcade Fire and Frightened Rabbit alongside the rustic country-folk appeal of the Lumineers and First Aid Kit. Residing in Utrecht, Sigmond issued his self-titled first album during 2008. Two years afterward came his second effort, Seadrift Soundmachine, with Heavy Flowers appearing in 2012. Extensive European touring followed, including a performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas. The 2014 album Promises of No Man's Land by Blaudzun entered the Dutch charts at the top position, prompting a fresh series of concerts and tours.
