Gipsy Rufina (IT) @ 15u30

(Folk/Singer-Songwriter)

Gipsy Rufina rolled and rambled around playing thousands of shows across Europe, Estern countries , USA and South America, daring sometimes places where few others did.  
Hoboing in a pure outlaw troubadur spirit he constantly toured from 2005, picking the lines of his narrative, coming from his life and travels, obscure sometimes, simple others but still deep, soaked with grace and far from a cheesy songwriting.

Kit & Caboodle (BE) @ 15u30

(Appalachian Old Time Country/Roots Music)

Old time country with a street punk attitude, vagrants squatters and travelling folk singers.

Kit&Caboodle brengen old time country punk met een appalachian flavor. Na jaren zwerven en overleven als straatmuzikant in oa de USA en Canada, strandde Steven Andsowon terug in zijn thuisland.

Eindelijk geworteld in een Waals bos met 2 jonge kinderen… brengt hij die hillbilly anarcho country vibe nu op de Europese podia. Samen met road dogs Florien op viool, Frank op contrabas en Jona op wasbord nemen ze je mee van een straathoek in new orleans tot een saloon in de far west, van de anarchopunk cultuur van de pacific northwest tot de hillbilly hollers van de appalachen… authentiek, duister en dansbaar…

The Hooten Hallers (USA) @ 21u30

(Cowpunk/Country)

For the past seventeen years, The Hooten Hallers have been crisscrossing the country as inveterate road warriors, bringing their peculiar vision of Americana: a fiery, bluesy, rock and roll fever dream birthed in Missouri’s fertile musical heartland. They’ve put so many miles into the road that they’ve burned through multiple tour vans and left twisted metal and frayed rubber strewn across the road behind them. The Hooten Hallers are known for their incendiary live shows that must be experienced to be believed, taking the listener on a dynamic journey from explosively raucous blues to expressive three-part vocal harmonies to danceable grooves.The enduring hope and tinges of madness from this power trio are driven by the infernal vocal growl and swirling electric and lap steel guitars of John Randall, the powerful drumming and falsetto howl of Andy Rehm, and the burning baritone and bass saxophone lines of Kellie Everett. The Hooten Hallers have always been musical colliders, smashing together blues, garage rock, country, punk, and a hint of jazz into a refreshingly unique sound. It’s Morphine meets ZZ Top mixed with a dash of George Thorogood and Tom Waits. But anyone who has seen this band live knows that this group is unlike anything they’ve experienced before. When The Hooten Hallers come to town, you know it’s gonna be a party!

Bob Wayne & The Outlaw Carnies (USA) @ 15u30

(Outlaw Country)

So happy to get my brother from another mother coming over again. 

It all started with Bob on our live bands journey and festivals, 14 years ago meanwhile, dang. Below you can find video where im the main character in the video. Was so much fun making this. ENJOY and see you on EasterMonday

Bob Wayne makes raw, deep, ‘pure country’ music that walks the line betweencomedy and dark truths, never trying to be anything he’s not and consequentlyensuring everything he does is genuine, with a total lack of affectation. With hisnatural vocal style often having common links to artists such as the late greatJohnny Cash and his songwriting style compared to Kris Kristofferson Bob brings aneo-Cash vibe that is much needed in todays resurgence of authentic countrymusic.In 2023 Bob continues to carry the torch. With his newest album ‘13 more TruckinSongs’ containing songs like ‘Space Trucker’, ‘Truck Driving Woman’, and ‘Truckingfor Jesus’ this record is sure to deliver a plethora of new trucker classics in his neo-country authentic way

Tim Holehouse (UK) @ 15u30

(Singer-Songwriter/Americana/Blues)

Global touring musician, Tim Holehouse brings experimental acoustic sounds. For the past 16 years, Tim has been one of the most hard working in the industry, travelling the globe, touring throughout the UK, US, Canada Europe, and beyond. His touring adventures have brought influences to his sound today. Breaking the 250-300 gig mark most years, Tim leads somewhat of a nomadic existence, but for all intents and purposes, treats London as his home when not out playing his trade to international and domestic audiences. Tim is equally prolific with his recording as he is with his travels, when not gigging his way round the world, he has found the time to release 20 albums and countless split releases, often with artists he tours with.

Tim's own sound is hugely varied, he’s often able to adapt to performing sets depending on the atmosphere of a show. He has been known to release folk, blues, experimental music and covers many other genres. Tim's songs come from a place of honesty and a keen ear for anything creative regardless of genre. His own philosophy is that, 'if music is good, it's just good, right?' To get a feel for Tim's wide and varied talent, be sure to check out his eclectic sounds and as Tim often quotes from one of his favourite films, 'Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure': 'Be excellent to each other.”

Belly Hole Freak (CAN) @ 15u30

(Raw & Dirty Blues)

The background of Belly Hole Freak sinks his roots in the most rural, raw and dirty blues. An instinctive and visceral sound enriched by different colours, rhythms and shades of boogie tones, rhythm'n'blues, country, bluegrass, mixed with a more Hard Rock Blues sound, playing live shows with much energy and clear Rock'n'Roll attitude . Among the artists of reference there are Howlin Wolf, Captain Beefheart, Robert Jhonson, Tom Waits and bands like Cream, Allman Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cactus, The Bluesbreakers to name a few. Energy, introspective research, unconscious and spirituality, are among the main sources of inspiration, a channel of surreal communication, a free language, sometimes using  invented words but with such a concrete meaning given by a very expressive interpretation. This is for Belly Hole Freak, the way to  feel and live the BLUES, the way to break the mould, in the full freedom, to give voice to the soul. BHF is Massimiliano “Belly” on guitar, voice, handmade footboard stomp, Hi Hat, cymbals, Cowbell tamburine, Kazoo, anklets. All instruments are played simultaneously in his one man shows.

Zachary Lucky (CAN) @ 15u30

(Folk/Americana/Country)

Zachary Lucky is a Canadian songwriter, folk and Country artist who started his career in Saskatoon and now resides in Orillia, Ontario. He is the grandson of Canadian country music legend Smilin' Johnnie Lucky. Prior to starting his solo career in 2009, Lucky was a member of pop bands Tuxedo Mask and We Were Lovers. He has made a name for himself as one of the hardest working singer-songwriters to come out of Saskatchewan in recent years - often booking long, and potentially gruelling tours. Born and raised in Saskatoon, Lucky finds himself in the company of other Saskatchewan artists like Colter Wall, Deep Dark Woods, and Kacy & Clayton. Why has this rugged Canadian province produced such great roots music? Lucky thinks some of it must come down to the prairie landscape and its people. "There's something about the Canadian Midwestern people," he says in explanation. "There's a strong work ethic, and a kindness to them that you don't find anywhere else. There's also something about being in the middle of nowhere, beneath that vast prairie sky, watching it come alive with colour as the sun dips below the horizon."

Sunday 21 May 2025: 

Poor Man's Revenge (AT) @ 21u00

(Anti-Gospel/Murder-Folk)

Poor Man's Revenge brings the darkness of human existence and unrestrained passion to the stages of the city. Lyrically, the band deals with themes that our society likes to overlook - stories of suicide, murder and poverty teach us how to celebrate life despite all the pain. Banjo, guitar, upright bass and washboard mixed with melodic and raucous vocals set traditional bridges on fire to build a better future. Poor Man's Revenge blends punk, country and folk roots into a unique sound that sticks out like a switchblade.
