The Maureens

The Maureens are the perfect soundtrack for a late summer night, though
the band gives you that feeling just as easily on a sunday afternoon in
February. Guitar pop inspired by the greats of the golden 60s and 70s;
songs you hum along to after one listen.

Originating from the central Utrecht music scene in 2012, the band nowadays operates from the rural east of the Netherlands. It hasn’t changed the sound of The Maureens: the melancholic songs of Hendrik-Jan de Wolff exude love of melody and harmony.

Where the industry standards revolve around Spotify and Apple
Music, The Maureens prefer to sell boxes of vinyl via Spanish record
label Meritorio. They’ve played prime time on Dutch television and
prominent Dutch music critic Leo Blokhuis included the album 'Bang The
Drum' in his annual list for OOR magazine.

The band is about to release their fourth full length: 'Everyone Smiles'.
Recorded last year with legendary Dutch producer Frans Hagenaars in
studio SSE-Noord: Another chapter added to the quest for the ultimate
song.

The band has played living rooms, venues such as Paradiso
(Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht) and went to England to play the
Liverpool Cavern Club. A Spanish tour is set to happen, after it was
canceled in 2020 due to Corona.The journey is not over yet and the urge to
write new songs and visit new places is stronger than ever.
