VI.BE

Neighborman is the solo project of Tim Leenards, blending dreamy Americana and indie pop into a sound that is both distinctive and emotionally resonant. His songs are honest, personal, and storytelling at heart. They are a musical search for recognition, calmth, and connection.

With a background as a drummer, guitarist, and keyboardist in various bands, Tim has grown into a full-fledged songwriter. As Neighborman, he opens up, writing about thoughts we all have but rarely say out loud. His evocative lyrics, warm vocals, and subtle arrangements create music that feels both intimate and immersive.

Neighborman comes fully into his own on stage. Backed by a tight band and rich four-part harmonies, his live shows are soaked in atmosphere and emotional depth, without compromising musical precision.

"..."Dat Leenards nu slechts een jaartje bezig is onder deze naam, zou je daarnaast allerminst zeggen, want het klonk allemaal best sterk."..."Afsluiter “Last Cigarette” zou bijvoorbeeld wel een opstapje richting iets groters kunnen zijn"..."
