Twenty-four year old Dutch multi-instrumentalist, Jacco Gardner, returns to the U.S. this fall in further support of debut album, Cabinet of Curiosities, released earlier this year via Trouble In Mind. Recorded in his hometown of Zwaag in the Netherlands and performed almost entirely by Jacco (save the drums), Cabinet of Curiosities is a sophisticated and inviting debut. It’s an album full of playful baroque arrangements featuring minor chords and plush harmonies brushing up against strings, mellotrons, harpsichords and an occasional squeezebox, painting a warm melodic palette. Though remindful of The Zombies and Syd Barrett, Jacco brings his material to its own singular place as he deftly explores the idea of reconciling one’s loss of innocence and discovering the world may not be as wondrous as once believed, but in a far more accomplished and mature way than one would expect from an individual so young.

After an East Coast through Southwest tour this spring, Jacco (keys, vocals) and band – Jasper Verhulst (bass), Jos van Tol (drums) and Keez Groenteman (guitar) – return to North America for their first coast-to-coast tour in October.
