If anything good came out of the covid crisis, it’s MJ Lenderman. He broke through during the pandemic with his album Boat Songs, full of biting jokes, clever sports references, and delightfully raw guitar solos.

Guitar Hero changed the life of the once solo-artist MJ Lenderman. The videogame introduced him to Jimi Hendrix and The Smashing Pumpkins who sparked his fascination for music. Now he’s performing at Noorderzon, together wiht the band The Wind immerse you in a unique mix of nostalgic guitars and compelling melodies. Their music feels both dreamy and weathered, with a sound reminiscent to the American indie rock tradition, but with its own, modern twist.
