Biography - Jack and the Weatherman

Jack and the Weatherman is a Dutch indie pop band centered around lifelong friends Berry Krikken (Jack) and Sebastiaan Weerman (The Weatherman).

The journey from an acoustic duo to a full-band act is marked by euphoric live shows, heartfelt lyrics, and a deep connection with their fans. Combining pop, folk, reggae, and a dose of melancholic honesty, their songs have racked up nearly 100 million streams worldwide and are played on repeat by hundreds of thousands of listeners.

Their breakout track Till The Sun Comes Up went platinum in the Netherlands and was featured in the Dutch cinema film De Terugreis. They tour extensively across Europe, with sold-out shows in venues like Tivoli, Oosterpoort, and Melkweg, Paradiso, Paard and an ever-growing international fanbase spanning Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Italy, and the UK.

In 2025, they signed with Agents After All, one of the Netherlands’ top booking agencies, and joined Kaiser Management (also managing Chef’Special). This opened the door to supporting Chef’Special on a series of major open-air shows—such as Caprera in Bloemendaal—and festival appearances like Royal Park Live and the Kampvuur Concerten.

From acoustic duo to powerful live band.

Though the heart of Jack and the Weatherman is still the creative duo of Berry and Sebastiaan, their live show has evolved into a full band experience. This evolution gives their uplifting songs a new dimension and a bigger sound, while retaining the intimacy and storytelling they’re known for. Their music blends catchy melodies with introspective lyrics, celebrating both the light and dark sides of life. They are often compared to artists like Sons of the East, Jeremy Loops, Hollow Coves, The Lumineers, Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz.

On January 10, 2025, they headline the Main Hall of Paradiso Amsterdam for the second time, celebrating a year of successes. Meanwhile, they started writing a new album —following up on the 2025 EP Expanse, which featured airplay favorites Incredible, Miracle, and Thorns.

“It’s so easy to forget how improbable and spectacular it is that we are simply alive. It feels like our lifelong mission to remind people of this through our music and to help them reconnect with themselves and everything around them—including ourselves, especially ourselves.” — Berry Krikken (Jack)

“Making music and touring is a dream come true. It’s important to us to create music that we love and to enjoy the freedom of the creative process. We are proud of what we’ve achieved as independent artists, incredibly grateful for the experiences we’ve had, and excited for what the future holds—sky’s the limit.” — Sebastiaan Weerman (The Weatherman)
