The Band


After sixteen years on the road with the Dutch folkband Harmony Glen, leadsinger Nienke Bijker is ready to enchant the stages with her own band: Nyntha.
Drift away with stories based on life and beyond. The pure melodies contrast with strong foundations, creating her own musical imaginarium, while using contemporary and relatable themes, which are commonly found in pop and rock music. Nyntha’s celtic foundations are clearly audible in the lead vocal, as well as in the instruments: apart from the traditional popband setting, harp, fiddle and double bass enlighten the stage. This celtic inspired pop band, with her authentic sound, feels like a fresh wind. Nyntha is ready to open worlds.
