Anyone who has ever heard the music of Belgian singer-songwriter DRIES BONGAERTS knows this: his work leaves no one untouched. Whether you listen to his critically acclaimed albums For the Light in Thy Heart (2017) and Soothing Green (2021) or experience him live in an intimate setting, DRIES strikes a chord straight to the heart. His music exudes raw sincerity, tells deeply personal stories, and is firmly rooted in tradition. Enriched with social commentary and infused with poetry, DRIES draws you into his world within seconds.
With his velvety voice, virtuoso guitar skills, and masterful compositions, he weaves an irresistible blend of Blues Americana and Folk Rock. Every live performance is a unique listening experience where emotion and craftsmanship intertwine.
It’s tempting to say that DRIES should already be counted among the greats of the music world. But DRIES forges his path. With unwavering dedication to authenticity and a fresh perspective on Folk Rock, he charts an independent course as a true musical pioneer. His music speaks straight from the heart – and touches you right there.
This feeling is something I’ve experienced not just once, but many times. That’s why I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be managing the promotion of DRIES BONGAERTS’ new LP, LIVE at DJINGEL DJANGEL Antwerp, across the EU. On February 9th, 2025, DRIES will officially present this special LP at none other than Djingel Djangel in Antwerp.
DRIES BONGAERTS is not just an artist; he’s an experience you must encounter for yourself. This release is not only a musical highlight but also the perfect New Year gift. After the performance, you’ll have the chance to purchase a signed copy of the LP. And for those who pre-ordered and paid in advance, a signed copy will be waiting for you that very evening.
