Stef Bos (born 1961 in Veenendaal) is a Dutch singer-songwriter known for his poetic, introspective Dutch-language songs. He broke through in 1991 with the hit 'Papa', which went double platinum, and has since won multiple Edison awards and a Golden Harp. Based in Cape Town, he has long woven South African music and Afrikaans into his work, starting with the 1993 album 'Together as One'. His twentieth studio album, 'Kaartenhuis', was released in May 2025.
Stef Bos released his twentieth studio album 'Kaartenhuis' on May 9, 2025 via his own label Niemandsland, accompanied by the theater tour 'Tijd om stil te staan' through the Netherlands and Flanders.
Bos described 'Kaartenhuis' himself as his 'darkest album', a collection of songs that emerged around crossing the threshold of his sixtieth year of life.
Stef Bos is scheduled in 2026 for concerts in Utrecht (TivoliVredenburg, March 17), Rotterdam, 's-Hertogenbosch, Brussels and Ghent as part of the tour 'Van Toen Naar Nu'.
In spring 2025, Bos toured with the production 'Tijd om stil te staan' through Dutch and Flemish theaters, based on songs from 'Kaartenhuis'.
