Simon van Gend Band

Bio

Simon van Gend Band is an introspective indie/folk/rock band from Cape Town, South Africa. Their music has been described as a home-grown unique blend of folksie foot-tapping red wine fireside poetry. The band is made up of Simon van Gend (he plays acoustic guitar, sings and is a songwriter), Eric Michot (plays bass) and Ross Campbell (plays drums).

The band has so far recorded five albums. Their fourth album 'Blinking and Breathing' was produced by acclaimed Australian producer Ian Pritchett, famed for his work with Angus & Julia Stone and The Beautiful Girls.

Between February 2014 and February 2105, Simon wrote a new song every week and posted it to his blog. He also did solo tours in the U.S. and Germany. In September 2015, the band released a new album titled ‘Song a week’.
