“Following a long-form FM radio residency, streak of television appearances, award nominations, major film cameo and a collaboration with a bona fide 1970s rock legend, Frederica, Delaware-based Dutchman reveal the centerpiece of their momentum: the release of their Double A side singles “Springfield 78” and “Papa Fronc.”

“2025 has been a whirlwind for the band. From multiple television appearances, FM radio residency, movie cameo and film soundtrack. Dutchman’s reach has spread far and wide. This hard work has earned them over 175,000 streams, 8,200 playlist adds, and 65,000 new listeners in just eight months. You can stream “Springfield 78” and their historical collaboration with the legendary Bob Webber on “Papa Fronc” anywhere you find music.”

“Their first televised performances, beginning with ‘WBOC-CBS’s DelmarvaLife’, Dutchman delivered gripping renditions of their singles “I Need You Now” and fan-favorite “On the Run”. A second television appearance on ‘WRDE-NBC’s CoastlifeTV’ followed shortly after. This time premiering a new unreleased track “What She Never Wrote” performed live from the legendary studio “Midsouth Audio” located in Milton, Delaware.”

Dutchman fly into 2026 with a new album,a‍ ‍cinematic video and not one but two new retro-rock tracks: The Sugarloaf-sweetened Papa Froncand the groovy Springfield ’78 — showcasing today on Tinnitist.

Dutchman found themselves traveling west to Cripple Creek, Colorado. There, perched in a remote cabin at 10,500 feet called “The Fern House”, they recorded additional material in an environment Fez describes as “a place where the music could breathe.”

Dutchman embodies a vintage-revivalist spirit, while of course forging their own unique identity. Their latest creations emerged from a transformative trek that the duo, Johnson & Gravatt, started from Delaware, leading up to the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ in Cleveland, Ohio, then onto Nashville and Knoxville, Tennessee, before finally returning home to Delaware. This journey immersed them in the musical heritage that has influenced their artistic stride.

Incredible and original rock music is happening on the Mid-South Audio stage as we welcome Dutchman.

“On The Run” delivers the magic that vital keyboardist Franco Solorzano can create with just two chords and an attitude. Moreover, “Springfield ‘79” is set to be a sonic punch in the face of an action-packed electric guitar driven instrumental. These singles promise to present the band at the peak of their artistic expression thus far, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in their musical journey.

The piano is the star of the track, reminiscent of almost any Elton John song from the 70’s or “Lady” by Styx. Dutchman is letting it all out during the passionate screaming guitar solo before we close out with one last driving chorus. We end the song with our heart piercing organ leaving us room for hope amongst the wasted years.

Harrington, Delaware's Dutchman have arrived, and this four piece are on the "Run Run Run" with this, their new single - available now.

Freshly pressed from their debut offering, Dutchman Vol. 1 — a follow-up to the group’s breakthrough EP, A Broken Man’s Life and precursor to Dutchman Vol. 2 — the song harnesses the sonic talents of the band’s initial lineup: Jake Dutcher (vox/rhythm guitar), and Connor Johnson (vox/lead guitar), alongside Garrett Gravatt (lead/rhythm guitar) and Franco Solorzano (keys/bass), who were added shortly after first forming in 2017.

Watch Run Run Run above, hear more from Dutchman below, and follow them on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Dutchman plucks apart a variety of generations of rock and roll music, and blends them into a sound uniquely their own. From staging pulsating riffs with tightly woven harmonies, “RUN RUN RUN” executes a good time vibe, amped up to eleven.

The track delights as it foreshadows an exciting new chapter in the life and tenure of Dutchman; the earworm it forms inside your brain promises to nestle deep inside and not wander off. A self-proclaimed American rock band, the group intermingles their love of classic outfits like Skynyrd, with their modern heroes such as Greta Van Fleet and The Black Keys, and the new song is reminiscent of early Who, effervescent Doors,
