about

This is the long awaited first album of The Jolly Gents! Created in a time when the world was in turmoil and was in search (no, IN NEED) of a light at the horizon. And they delivered. 11 tracks of Banjo & Accordion divinity unmatched by any other Dutch Banjo & Accordion duo ever! Let them take you on a ride through the sences and transport you to a world without fear, without judgement and without hearing aids. With the releae of this album the musical world shall never be the same again…

About the Artists:
Sjoerd van Ravenzwaaij and Tom van Aarle met in early 2014 to work on a theatre show for the band ‘Acting the Maggot’. After that one show, the taste of music lasted and the band started to gain momentum and more shows. During one of the bands trips to the outside countries they shared a hotelroom and, as such things go, a romantic moment was had where notes and keys where put in dubious places...And so the idea of performing together was born. After performing as ‘Sjoerd & Tom’ for 4 years they decided to hit the international market, so a new name was needed and, with a little bit of help, the name “The Jolly Gents” was born. 2020 their debut album is released on Friendly Folk Records, and they are ready to please the world with this first album of twanging, pumping goodness and to hit the stage as soon as they are tuned up! Which will, presumably, take a while, so don’t worry yet...the icecaps will probably melt sooner then that. But all we know is, banjo and accordeon will never be the same again…
