Niels Cremer is a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist und singer whose craft is music that effortlessly bridges stylistic gaps between folk and country as well as elements of modern popular music. His songs have developed into an authentic repertoire, firmly rooted in the acoustic singer-songwriter tradition, yet being distinctly contemporary.

 

On his newly released debut-album „Of Dogs And Bones“, Niels continues his own style of modern folk music, a style he has already established on his EP „Seed, Creed & Generation“ released last year. Lyrics that reflect the narrator‘s extraversion, yet manage to open up very personal spaces of familiar stories to the listener, creatively served in compositions that are as versatile in their instrumentation as they are in their moods and temperament – where the mandolin, slide-guitar or blues-harp pick-up the hook line, where the banjo drives the beat and Niels‘ unpretentious acoustic guitar lends its unique character to the music. Niels Cremer - Fine New Folk.


Niels spent many years living, working and playing music in Asia before returning to Germany, where he initially supported Marybeth D'Amico on double bass, acoustic guitar, mandolin, blues harp and vocals before concentrating on his own songs and his career as a singer-songwriter. 

He self-released the debut-EP "Seed, Creed & Generation" in August 2009 and was offered a distribution deal with German indie-label Timezone Records who have been ditributing Niels' Music both physically and digitally since March 2010.

In October 2009, Niels' song "I'll Take The Early Train" was voted a Finalist among the top 5 songs in the Folk-category of the International Song Of The Year Contest, a songwriting competition based in Houston/Texas!

It's a Tacoma Thunderchief. The real secret is the Fender flat-wound nylon strings. It gets pretty close to stand-up sound with the right amp & thumb.

Thanks, Niels! Sounds great! Let's keep the depression down if not downright obliterated. Peace, love and new guitar strings-Jefferson
