__NOTOC__ Blaudzun is the stage name of the Dutch singer-songwriter Johannes Sigmond (Arnhem, Netherlands, 26 October 1974) who played for years in various bands and projects before he continued as a singer-songwriter in 2006. Named Blaudzun, called after a relatively unknown Danish cyclist from the 70s, he works in 2007 on a special collection of songs, originally intended to be a soundtrack for a midnight car drive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trouw )〕 The first six songs came together as the self-released EP "Loveliesbleeding". He heads south to Barcelona to complete his self-titled debut that is released April 2008 on V2 Records Benelux. Blaudzun toured the Benelux countries in 2008 including Metropolis Festival and supported Norwegian singer Ane Brun and Mark Eitzel's American Music Club. In September 2009 he finished recording Seadrift Soundmachine (V2 Benelux) during sessions with The City of Prague Orchestra, known for its filmscores (Das Leben Der Anderen, and David Lynch' Lost Highway). Blaudzun again wrote most of the songs in his beloved Barcelona and recorded in different studios in the Netherlands and Prague. His second LP Seadrift Soundmachine was released on 12 February 2010. Blaudzun made big impressions that year at the big summer festivals in Holland, including into The Great Wide Open and Lowlands. He ended the year with a sold out club tour. Blaudzun broke through in the Benelux and beyond with his third album Heavy Flowers (2012) which was released in The Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia and the US ((Krian Music Group )).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NPR first listen Blaudzun – Heavy Flowers )〕 This was followed by sold out club tours in both the Netherlands and Belgium, festivals in both Europe and the USA〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MTV IGGY Words with Netherlands folk rocker Blaudzun )〕 including Eurosonic/Noorderslag 2012,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ESNS12: De extatische grandeur van Blaudzun )〕 Dranouter, The Great Escape,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brighton Source )〕 Sziget, SXSW〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Blaudzun: NPR Front Row )〕 and Lowlands and winning awards such as the Dutch Public Broadcasting Award for Best Album of the Year 2012,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=3voor12 Award Blaudzun – Heavy Flowers: Best album of the Year 2012/ )〕 an Edison for Best Male Artist at the Dutch Edison Awards〔(Edison )〕 and an award for Best Alternative Act at 3FM (Dutch national radio).
