Dekker

American indie folk singer-songwriter Dekker brings his warm vocals, melancholic melodies and intimate storytelling to LantarenVenster in Rotterdam on Wednesday 6 October 2027. Known for his distinctive falsetto and understated acoustic arrangements, he returns to the city for a special solo performance featuring music from his forthcoming fifth album, Man on the Mend.

Behind the stage name Dekker is musician Brookln Dekker, previously known as one half of the American-British indie folk duo Rue Royale. Since launching his solo career in 2019, he has developed a devoted international following with his combination of gentle guitar melodies, subtle rhythmic grooves and emotionally honest songwriting.

His solo debut, Slow Reveal: Chapter One, appeared in 2020, followed by I Won't Be Your Foe in 2022, Future Ghosts in 2024 and Neither Up Nor Down in 2025. His music balances melancholy with an unexpectedly uplifting sound, turning personal reflections on relationships, vulnerability and everyday life into memorable indie folk songs.

New music from Man on the Mend

Dekker's fifth studio album, Man on the Mend, is scheduled for release on 19 February 2027. The record marks another chapter in his prolific solo career, continuing the musical journey that has earned him hundreds of millions of streams and a growing audience across Europe.

Having previously performed at Rotown with Rue Royale, Dekker now returns to Rotterdam in a more intimate setting. Armed with his guitar and distinctive voice, he creates performances where delicate melodies and personal storytelling take centre stage. Fans of Nick Mulvey, José González, Fink and Bon Iver should find plenty to appreciate.
