Raoul & The Wisemen
Welcome! It has been a strange few months after the cancelation of our tour to Slovenia due to the natural disaster there in August. A terrible situation in the country, and for us a lot of preparations that didn’t lead to the tour we’d planned. We were already in the South of Germany and had to turn around. Afterwards I worked on a song, but we didn’t feel like releasing it and then the months went by.
First I thought this song was only about Slovenia. Looking at what happens in the world and also in the Netherlands right now, it applies to much more I thinkg. Now it feels like the moment for a song. We believe music connects. This is ‘Darker Stories‘ (click on the link to hear the song).
BIO
Raoul & the Wisemen is a Dutch singer-songwriter with live band from the East of Amsterdam. Their sound is warm and clear, their songs melodical and romantic. Comparable to acts as Keane and HAEVN. Though they’re based in Amsterdam, they love traveling and meeting new people.
Their music tells stories about love, a changing world and your own actions, the clash between feelings and ratio, between heart and mind. A little melancholic, but always hopeful. Raoul & the Wisemen stand for an open mind, curiosity and not giving up.
The band’s first single ‘Conversation’ gained attention on national NPO Radio 5 show ‘Club de Max’ where Raoul & the Wisemen were invited as a guest. Airplay of their single followed both on Radio 5 and online. The following singles ‘Dream’ and ‘Time’ were released during the lockdowns and received attention in newspapers (NHD), online blogs (Shot of Culture, Cultuurblogger.nl, Songland) and (online) magazines (Winq). They played on festivals in both the Netherlands and Slovenia. Their latest singles Healing and Hurricane (2023) received attention from online and local radio. They played live at ex-TMF DJ Fabienne de Vries’ show ‘Toute Fabienne’ on GoodLife Radio and on Radio Aalsmeer. RTV Noord Holland payed attention to Healing by playing their video, Pinguin radio added their latest release to their Pop playlist.
This fall, their song Darker Stories will be released online. An addition to the Povodni Moz tour that didn’t happen. It’s also a story about a bit of hope in a changing world. Especially for this song a small donation campaign is set up. If you like, you can donate what you can miss. At the end of December we’ll collect what was given and donate it to the Red Cross in order to help the people in Gaza.
