about the bandh

Danish folk-rock band The Sentimentals have toured with various international artists on tour in Scandinavia since 2004 and have begun recording their first full length album with original material.
What the Band was to Bob Dylan in the 60’s The Sentimentals aim to be to the artists they tour with adding their own sound to Dana Cooper’s country-rock songs the Sarah MacDougall’s theatrical pop, the Nell Bryden’s jazzy Patsy Cline-pastiche or Vanessa Peters’ bittersweet soundscapes.

”They played exactly the kind
of throw-back, old-school sound
I was going for”

Jonathan Byrd DK tour, Folk Alliance Conference, Matt Harlan US tour, Dana Cooper DK tour - all coming up NOW!!

It's been a while since we last posted any news - but it's not that there aren't any news, in fact we've been busy with a bunch of things. First of all we're excited soon to be on tour around Denmark with Jonathan Byrd. 7 shows and then off to the U.S. Yes that's right - that's the next thing we've been working on. We will attend this years edition of the annual Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis TN, from Feb. 22nd - Feb. 26th. We have several showcase appearences with a bunch of our great friends Matt Harlan, Sarah MacDougall and Jonathan Byrd. After that we all go to the legendary Sun Recording Studio to record a couple of tracks together - we might as well now that we're in Memphis right? :-) From Memphis we hit the road with Matt Harlan to celebrate the release of our new album, that we recorded in the fall, during our tour in Denmark. So far we will perform in San Antonio, Dallas and Houston.
Last but not least yet another tour with Dana Cooper will take place from March 12th - March 18th. The first couple of dates you'll find in the calender, more to come soon...
We look forward to a busy Febuary and March! See you all out there...
