"Real cool sound and a very nice job of songwriting." - Randy Burns, NY, musician
"Good stuff […] nice playing, writing and good voice too, […] it’s very authentic "Americana." - Gary Earl, LA, producer
"The accompaniment of multi-instrumentalist Niels Cremer fit perfectly. Whether he is playing guitar, mandolin, upright bass or harmonica - the former blues musician shows himself to great advantage in all of the songs. The harmonies of the duo are also a strong point." - (Landsberger Tagblatt, July 2007 on a duo performance with Marybeth D'Amico)
"The formal announcement was 'A Performance by Marybeth D'Amico, accompanied by Niels Cremer'. That however does not do justice to Niels Cremer's performance, who was clearly on a par with his duet-partner during yesterday's house concert. The teamwork of Cremer and D'Amico ensured a memorable evening with relaxed guitar music." - House concert, Rotterdam, 10/2007

Bio
After spending almost a decade as a band- and session-musician in Taipei/Taiwan and making a new start back in his native Germany as multi-instrumentalist (on guitar, double bass, mandolin, blues harp and vocals) for American singer Marybeth D’Amico, Niels finally fulfilled his longstanding ambition to put together a classic singer-songwriter solo-act. Today, accompanying himself on guitar and the occasional blues-harp, Niels performs his own sometimes quiet, sometimes energetic, but always expressive and powerful songs that are influenced by such musical genres as folk, country, blues, rock and funk. Over the years, Niels’ repertoire has developed into an authentic, passionate and vibrant Americana experience which roots in the tradition of hand-made acoustic folk music, yet is clearly contemporary. Niels has self-released a five-song debut EP in August 2009 entitled “Seed, Creed & Generation”, his song "I'll Take The Early Train was a Finalist in the "Song Of The Year" SOngwriting Competition based in Houston/Texas in 10/2009.
As of March 2010, Niels' debut EP will be distributed by the German indie label Timezone Records, they market the CD physically in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as digitally through iTunes, amazon mp3 and all other known download sites.
