Bart van der Lee op Intrubate!

Bart van der Lee is a singer-songwriter from Utrecht (NL). Because of the development work of his father he grew up in the Phillipines, Thailand and Kenya. It was in Kenya where is his interest in music came to lift by playing on his mothers guitar. On his thirteenth Bart returned back to the Netherlands together with his parents.

During his studie illustration at the art academy in Utrecht he doesn’t only publish his debut album “Asfalt” (Asphalt), but also the collection of poetry “Aan de Vogels die ik zie” (To the Birds that I see). After graduating an EP and a single follow; two preludes for the album “Between Tall Pine Trees (Sadness & Thunder)” which is reased in 2010.

With his unpolished sound and melancholic tragedy he drags you into the depths and shares from his life’s experiences. The style and the colour of his latest album “Between Tall Pine Trees (Sadness & Thunder)” appear to be built out of components from his musical examples: the deep voice of Tom Waits, the pure arrangements of Johnny Cash’ American Recordings, the preference for the dark side of existence of Nick Cave and the ample beard of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.
