Steven De bruyn - The Eternal Perhaps - MMLP050
The moment has come! After a quarter century of exuberant teamwork, Steven De bruyn who blew El Fish and The Rhythm Junks into life, goes solo.
When Steven started playing harmonica, at the end of the eighties, he was dreaming this tiny toy would become his passport to the world. Since that moment he’s been living his dream. Exploring the borders of the harmonica has always been the most normal thing in the world for Steven. Yet, there is nothing as exciting and fragile as recording and performing solo.
Steven De bruyn solo stands for an intimate setting, where the harmonica, that has become an extension of Steven’s soul thru the years, is telling the larger part of the story.
Live he will be accompanied by bass player Jasper Hautekiet, an excellent musician and compagnon de route.
