Noordhollands Dagblad

Two-page feature on the route from Purmerend to Nashville musicians

Regional Dutch daily Noordhollands Dagblad published a two-page article on Erik Lindeman, covering his growth on Spotify, his work with Nashville session musicians and producer Peter Ferguson, and the American audience that found his music. The paper reviewed the single "Better Than Before" and described his voice as the reason a career he had already given up on is now within reach.

“If we didn’t know the vocalist was born in Purmerend [the Netherlands], you’d believe his roots were in a hamlet like Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee.”
Noordhollands Dagblad, September 2026
“The dream he had already said goodbye to, making a career as a professional musician, is suddenly within reach. Thanks to a golden voice.”
Noordhollands Dagblad, September 2026
