Frans Kalf + Johannes is his name, Boulevard Solar

The words haven't left the world yet, but they are almost used up. How do you still find words to say what matters? Meet Frans Kalf (22), a cynically cheerful artist of life. Half Amsterdammer, half from Ghent. With catchy songs and poignant lyrics, under the approving gaze of Shaffy and Brel, he takes you into his bittersweet world, where there is room for a broken heart and a roar of laughter. Bericht van Johannes from the future. After days and months of activity, with co-cosmonaut Dijf Sanders at the controls, a new piece in the Johannes-Is-His-Name universe is being opened to the public. His new record will be called “contact” and is themed around… contact: the lonely character from the debut record opens the door of his cocoon a crack and makes contact, with people and the world, with the love that is there for the taking in the hollows of a busy existence. Wie Johannes Is Zijn, Name knows, knows that this time too, everything will come together live: the dark playfulness of image, word, and act, in the electric “contact” with you, his audience.
