RUBUS

RUBUS is the musical vision of Antwerp singer-songwriter Bram Van Hecke. In an attempt to hold on to his youth forever, Bram merges pop music from recent decades into a melancholic sound with a contemporary edge, inspired by artists such as George Ezra, Milow, and James Bay. If that sounds intriguing, you have yet to witness a live performance.

Resume: Airplay Radio2 & Willy, Maanrock, Lier Centraal (support The Starlings) and a sold out release show in Vooruit Boechout (150p).
