about
Sarah Lois is Dutch country/folk guitarist and singer, Wijtze Valkema (born 1983). Inspired by folk artists such as The Carter Family, Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash the Dutchman released his 'digital only' début album, Pleasant Travels in April 2012. "The album cover is a picture of a hundred year-old quilt blanket. This quilt was made in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, not far from the home of Maybelle Carter in Old Hickory Lake. Small scraps of old feed sacks, stitched together by hand, form a large pattern of stars. Each piece of fabric seems to be telling a story, just like the songs on Pleasant Travels: small themes, minimally arranged, unpretentious lyrics, vocals without studio tricks. But if you combine these elements, their sum is bigger than their separate parts. The quilt of Sarah Lois."
