The Willard Grant Conspiracy Pilgrim Orchestra Tour with special guest Howe Gelb

The Willard Grant Conspiracy is the 'alternative country' musician collective around songwriter Robert Fisher. The band consists of more than thirty musicians, who are deployed depending on their availability. This makes every concert unique and tours are never very long. This is also the case with this 'Willard Grant Conspiracy Pilgrim Orchestra Tour', on which the new album 'Pilgrim Road' is presented. For the occasion, the orchestra consists of ten musicians. The HA' is their only stop in Belgium!

Robert Fisher's voice and the band's Americana music accompany each other like a couple floating across the dance floor. The music swells into intense drama or exuberant cheerfulness and glides away just as smoothly into intimate simplicity. Special guest Howe Gelb is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. He made a name for himself with Giant Sand and is known for his idiosyncratic American roots music and garage rock. Nothing but good musicians and overwhelming music at this concert. Let yourself be taken along 'Pilgrim Road'.
