Dear John are dynamic duo Dirk-Jan ‘DJ’ Smit and Ruud Bos, two Dutchies whose music sounds nothing like the local weather. With melodies like early morning birdsong and lyrics like the sunset, Dear John lifts your spirit like a summer breeze. Whatever gets you down, it’s little things of beauty that get you back up. This essential approach to life is true for all of their songs, centered on the simple combination of two acoustic guitars and DJ’s soulful voice. Where DJ is the singer-songwriter, Ruud is the crayon, adding splashes of color with his vibrant guitar play. Listen to Dear John and feel your troubles wash away like the ocean greeting your sandy feet.
