“Close your eyes and she is singing just for you. When it’s cold outside, Markowski is not the electric heating, but the crackling fireplace that keeps you warm.” (3voor12, review EP-release concert)
Markowski’s music sounds too rootsy to be just pop music, too young to be traditional folk, too soft to be rock’n’roll and too wicked to be country music. Actually, it’s all of this, but still different.
Sonja Markowski is a singer/songwriter from the inspiring town Berlin (Germany) that moved to the Netherlands in the nineties. She lost her heart to Americana and started writing songs about wicked things in life that grown up people are supposed to understand, but actually don’t. Most of her lyrics are in English, some are in German, which works great with this kind of music!
Sonja whispers softly, sings with the strong, expressive voice of a rock chick. She touches your heart, effortless. Her honest lyrics paint pictures you will definitely remember.
Ten years ago she met her musical soul mate Jan van Bijnen. He’s got exactly what her songs need: the edgy singing of a Dobro, a crispy guitar, a dreamy pedal steel, a tender mandolin and the lonely sound of a banjo. He adds some country flavor to the songs, without going too much ‘yeehaw’.
