Jack Poels

Jack Poels (born 27 June 1957 in America, Limburg) is the singer, guitarist and harmonica player of the Dutch band Rowwen Hèze[1] for which he has composed almost all the texts and music.

The texts of the newest Rowwen Hèze album Rodus & Lucius are about how Jack Poels continued his private life after his divorce.

For the album Blieve Loëpe (Limburgish: "Keep on walking") he has made a cartoon of the Statue of Liberty with a cigarette, a clog and a pot of beer.

Together with Leon Giesen who is the former bass player of Toontje Lager, Jack Poels has been working on a music project called Holland America Lijn since 2003.

Since the beginning of 2009, Jack Poels has been publishing a poem in the Dutch regional magazine Dagblad de Limburger every two weeks.
