On September 3, 2021, the Southern rock band Harlem Lake made their debut with the single The River during their support show for Walter Trout in 013, Tilburg. With their roots in blues music, the band effortlessly explores the boundaries of the time-honored genre and released a refreshing first single in preparation for their debut album.
Inspired by the Mississippi River, singer and songwriter Janne Timmer reclaims her strength in an unhealthy relationship. "I'm not gonna teach you if you never learn" she sings after her other half loses her for the umpteenth time. The song was written in Memphis, TN - where the band represented the Netherlands at the International Blues Challenge 2020 - after an evening stroll along the Ol' Man River. The female fronted blues rock band reached the semifinals and went home with many new American fans. As the band name suggests, Harlem Lake hails from the Haarlemmermeerpolder. Under the band name Dave Warmerdam Band , the members met during their teenage years in the shared love of blues music in 2017.
Four years later they changed the band name to Harlem Lake when they reinvented themselves while writing their debut album "A Fool's Paradise Vol. 1". The eight songs on it tell about how we constantly try to balance between our internal and external world. Love, longing and loss always teach us new things about ourselves and Harlem Lake manages to capture this effortlessly in recognizable, self-critical songs. While still paying tribute to the blues, they come with a fresh Southern sound inspired by artists like Joe Bonamassa, Mark Knopfler, Little Feat and Beth Hart.
