Newsletter – new concerts

Hello everyone,

Slowly, after a sweaty and beautiful summer, everyone is back to doing their normal thing, we hope. We are also flexing the vocal cords again and are really looking forward to the new concerts to come! 

If you want to come (which we reeeaaally hope), it helps a lot if you don’t wait until the last minute, but book your tickets in time. Theaters are still having a hard time, and if there are too few reservations, the performance may be canceled. If you don’t want to come, you don’t have to book :-).

See shows for the new concerts.

Hope to see you soon!
Johan & Digna


7 Jul 2022

And now for something completely different…Johan just released an album with piano music under the name of his alter-ego Noah Sands. You can listen to it on Spotify and all other streaming services.

Hello everyone,

Good news!
First of all, our 2nd single is out and it’s called ‘Old Boots’. It was immediately added to Spotify’s New Music Friday NL playlist! That’s great because this playlist has a lot of listeners 🎸.
We are also very happy with the (summer) clip that can be seen on YouTube. Click HERE to watch it and/or go to SpotifyApple MusicDeezer  etc. to have a listen. Sharing and liking the clip and song really helps us a lot.

At the beginning of October our new album ‘Firestone’ will be released, ánd Jodymoon also exists 15 years this year :-). At least 2 good reasons for a party 🎂!  The album release party in ECI Roermond is on Sunday 17 October at 4 pm. The ticket sale has started so it would be great to celebrate it together. We’ll play about an hour and then we’d like to toast with you to our new album Firestone! The album is for sale for 10 euros instead of 15 that day. Purchase your tickets: https://www.ecicultuurfabriek.nl/muziek/jodymoon/

newsletter new single Bad Tattoo

Hello everybody,

It took a while, but finally here’s a message from us. Hopefully everyone is doing well and you can enjoy some rest and/or go on holiday despite corona that still holds us all in its grip. Fortunately, we are doing fine and we have exciting news to tell you.

At the end of 2019 we started writing and recording our new (7th) album and unexpectedly corona gave us extra time and rest to get to where we are now: a new album that will be released in mid-October. We won’t reveal the album title just yet ;-).

We would like to surprise you with a single preview: ‘Bad Tattoo’. Click HERE to hear it on YouTube. It can of course also be found on all streaming services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, etc.

And yes, let’s hope we can really start playing again. We can’t wait! Fortunately, there are enough dates in places all over the Netherlands (and also a couple in Germany), so there should always be one that works for you. The ticket sale is not yet online at some venues, but you can already write the date in your calendar so you won’t forget :-). Special date of interest: Sunday afternoon 17 October, the album release party!

Go to shows for new concert dates.

Really great to see you in the theaters and venues again! 🤞  

Love and see you soon,

Johan & Digna

new album and concerts in 2021

It might seem quiet in the Jodymoon camp, but nothing could be further from the truth, because we are steadily working on our new album in peace. We don’t like facebooking, instagramming and twittering every centimeter we travel. It keeps us away from what really matters: making progress. So be patient …. new album and new gigs in 2021!

our new single ‘Never Run Out’

The video is a 1930’s home movie of two girls going on a trip, thank you Prelinger Archives! It is dramatised footage, so they where making a movie and acting in it. If the girls really are called Joan and Jean is unknown. The maker and other persons in the movie are also unknown. The liveliness of the two girlfriends fits the song very well we think. It’s moving to realise that these girls must be very very very old by now, or more probably, have deceased. What a wonderful time machine film is! To be able to get a glimpse of this era and these girls in the prime of their lives.

10 dec 2018, nieuwsbrief

Hello everybody,

We received many positive reactions to our new single  A Love Brand New, so glad that you like it! If you have not seen the video or want to see it again: go to YouTube. Many people have asked us if they could buy our new album before the start of all concerts, so that they can get to know the songs a little bit and sing along ;-). Understandable … That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to make the album available only to our loyal newsletter readers before the official release on 18 januari 2019. Subscribe to our newsletter en receive a special offer for our albums ánd the new album (temporary discount!) More good news is that ALL of our older albums are now available on all digital platforms and streaming services such as Spotify(and iTunes-Apple Music,Google Play, Deezer).

 


Nov 16, 2018 newsletter

Hello everybody, We are proud to present the first preview of our new album ‘A Love Brand New’. It is the title song of the album, so needless to say that it goes by the same name :-). As of Monday the song can also be listened to on all streaming services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer etc … turn it on! The album will be officially released on January 18th and on Sunday January 27th we’ll have the CD presentation in theater Walhalla , Rotterdam. If you have not bought a ticket yet, don’t linger too long. See the concert list in the menu shows for the complete tour so far.


Sep 05, 2018 newsletter

Hello everyone,

We’ve been working on our new album for quite a while now. We wrote a lot of new material, tried and tested it, rejected and embraced it. The process is intense. It’ll be different, it’ll be the same, it is Jodymoon. The title is A Love Brand New.

The album presentation of A Love Brand New is on Sunday 27 January 2019 in theater Walhalla in Rotterdam at 15.00  Tickets, see shows. Bring your friends & family, but don’t wait too long, because theater Walhalla isn’t as big as the de Amsterdam Arena. If Walhalla should be fully booked, we play other concerts throughout the whole country (NL) and for the very curious amongst you: We play new songs as well on the two concerts before the album presentation ;-).

You’ll find us on Instagram  nowadays , would be great if you leave a message there.

These are exciting times.


Apr 22, 2018 newsletter

The rest of this year we’ll be working on our new album that will be released early 2019!


Feb 05, 2018 newsletter

The year kicked of really well with shows throughout the Netherlands, we already played in Almere, Lelystad, Horst en Bemmel… and there is more to come. Something to look forward to! We’ll already offer you a taste of our new album that will be coming out by the end of the year. Digna has picked up the bass guitar and Johan plays the lap-drum. Lap-drum? To find out what that is you’ll have to come out and see us. 

p.s. Violin and cello are not on these pictures but they’ll be with us most of the time!

Winners of the album contest are: Nicole Peeters of Maasmechelen (B) and Jos Caris of Roermond (NL). Congratulations!! A signed album is coming your way this weekend.
