Afterglow

Robb Murphy wrote a song about a Dutch village. ‘Afterglow’  tells the story of Café ‘t Keerpunt, a historical pub in Spijkerboor, The Netherlands. The song takes the listener back into the past and taps into the feeling of the comforts of home.

“The mood is up as the sun goes down
And the sky rolls over Spijkerboor town
Nobody here feels a stranger’s weight
As the night unfolds the stories are told
God this place has a home in my soul”

Robb Murphy and his band performed at ‘t Keerpunt many times over the years. Willem Dijkema, owner of the pub, asked Robb to write a song about his experiences. ‘Afterglow’ will be part of a compilation CD that will be released later this year by the owners of the pub to celebrate their 20 year ownership. Situated in the north of The Netherlands, Spijkerboor is a small village with a peaceful and rural character, where the pub is the heart of the village. Known for its live music, poetry, literature and plays the pub not only is home for the locals, but also for artists from all over the world who have performed there. People come from far to see their favourite artists play. Café ‘t Keerpunt’s warm-heartedness, hospitality and history make this pub one of a kind. It is a pub where the stories and the music will never stop.

'Afterglow' will be available on Bandcamp, iTunes, iTunes Music Player, Google Play Music, Amazon and other online music stores from the 15th of March 2019
