Mariecke Borger - Bright Sky (2020)

The long-awaited second album of Dutch singer-songwriter, Mariecke Borger, is finally here: March 6th, 2020 “Bright Sky” will be released at VOLKOREN. This well-balanced, intimate, folk pop album – inspired by a trip to Ireland – tells the story of letting go, embracing, and overcoming. The sounds of banjo, fiddle and pedalsteel, combined with Mariecke’s fantastic voice, make Bright Sky an album that fits well with music of Sarah Jarosz, Lisa Hannigan, and The Wailin’ Jennys.

“Bright Sky” is deliberately recorded at home, with her husband Floris de Vries (multi-instrumentalist and sessions musician) as co-producer. Mariecke wanted to be able to influence the whole process and she was looking for an intimate sound, so a minimalistic way of recording fit best.
