Oli Brown Band
The young Brit Oli Brown (°1990) was attracted to the blues at the age of fifteen. From 2006 (he was 16 years old!) he toured America twice and opened for artists such as Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, Koko Taylor, Taj Mahal and in Europe for Walter Trout and the godfather of British blues John Mayall.
Despite his young age, there will be no rookie on stage here on February 24. If you love the blues and want to make sure of its future, don't miss this!Some meaningful quotes:
"I'm a big fan of this boy." Walter Trout
"A real talent and should have a great career." Joe Bonamassa
"The hottest young pistol in British blues." Mojo magazine
THE MUDGANG
The Mudgang started in November 1983 as an extension of the Ghent punk band 'More Action'. Influences from rockabilly and sixties garage punk form the foundations for the idiosyncratic sound of the young rebels. Together with The Paranoiacs and The Spanks they took the lead in the Belgian garage rock scene in the mid-80s. Despite a lot of interest from the press and despite hard live performances, The Mudgang finally disbanded at the end of 1991. At the end of 2007 it was decided to perform several more times. One live album, 'Live@the r&r Supermarket'and one studio album, 'Last Man Standing' Furthermore, the one-off reunion has grown into a second life for the Ghent garage rock pride. The latest album 'Last Man Standing' goes musically further than any other garage rock band has ever gone. From the garage roots, trips are made to rockabilly, country, ska, soul and original blues.
