Diftong Short Biography Singer-songwriter Diftong plays folk and Americana with a raucous twist. After 30 years of playing in bands he released his solo debut Robot vs Totempole in 2007. Friends and relatives play along on his second album, Heart in a Jar, that was released in September 2010. On this cd, 12 songs meander through acoustic folk, roots rock and alternative country. Lyrics cover subjects like the zealots and their army of superstitious hot-shots, a cracked heart in a Mason jar and the colors of Indian Summer in Colorado Heart in a Jar press quotes Diftong has succeeded in demonstrating how versatile traditional American Folk and Country music can be and he proves that fine Americana can be made in the Rhine Delta as well as in Tennessee or The Rocky Mountains. If you are still enjoying After the Goldrush or Harvest, Heart in a Jar will not be wasted on you. - Joost Schreurs, 3voor12.nl, October 2, 2010 - An honest recording with high quality music that’s pleasant to listen to but never too easy. An adventurous CD full of atmospheric songs that vary in style between folk, altcountry and folkrock. Heart in a jar is an intriguingly sounding album that reaches outside the Dutch borders. A CD for people that like to try something different. - Johan Schoenmakers, altcountryforum.nl, September 12, 2010 - Diftong on the web website: https://root.theworkpc.com/music/preview?img=http://www.diftong.nl/ myspace: https://root.theworkpc.com/music/preview?img=http://www.myspace.com/diftong cd-sale: https://root.theworkpc.com/music/preview?img=http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/Diftong Diftong live On stage, Diftong is one man with his guitar, his banjo and his voice.
