Ground Cinnamon Band draws inspiration from the sounds of Laurel Canyon's psychedelic folk era. Influenced by iconic acts of the '60s and '70s such as Buffalo Springfield, The Beach Boys, The Mamas and the Papas, and The Millennium, the trio - Erik Bus (12-string guitar and vocals), Carlijn Bus (vocals), and Jan Kappé (bass, guitar, and vocals) - crafts a mesmerizing blend of harmonies and rich instrumentation. Erik and Jan, both former members of The Small Breed, found new musical direction after their previous band's end. Joined by Erik's wife Carlijn, they formed Ground Cinnamon Band, adding more folk and country elements to their music. Like their inspirations, they focus heavily on the vocal harmonies. Their music is characterized by harmonized vocals from all three members, supported by instruments such as the acoustic 12-string guitar, pedal steel, vibraphone, bass harmonica, and mellotron. Ground Cinnamon Band’s debut EP, featuring five original tracks, is set for release on June 13th, 2025. The songs were recorded at PAF! Studio in Rotterdam and produced by Marcel Fakkers. In the studio, Erik, Carlijn, and Jan are joined by musicians Gijs van der Heijden (drums and percussion), Gijs de Jong (keys, flute, harmonica), and Joris Kuijs (pedal steel) enhancing their sound with additional layers.
