Roofman Biography
THE JOY OF SADNESS
An intimate concert in front of a small crowd, in a dark room somewhere in a small town. At first, everyone is still talking to each other, but quickly, after only a few minutes, it be- comes silent. Because Thijs van der Meulen alias Roofman has started to play, alone, only with his voice and his guitar. He doesn't have to say anything, just sing, and he has already reached the audience with his wistful folk songs with that certain indie fragility. Because Roofman has this special charisma that makes people listen to him. His melancholy songs, which he sometimes breaks with humorous announcements, have great melodies and are, in the best sense, intense. "The joy of sadness," as he calls it, seems to touch people. He succeeds just as well in an intimate setting as in a larger club when on the road with his band - the effect is the same, only the musical variety and volume are different.
