JOHN VINCENT III
Muziek

JOHN VINCENT III

Dit concert wordt om productionele redenen verplaatst naar 31-05-2027. Kaarten met de oude datum blijven geldig op de nieuwe datum. Kaartkopers ontvangen bericht van Ticketmaster met meer informatie indien je bent verhinderd op de nieuwe datum.De folkzanger John Vincent III uit Nashville heeft een trouwe schare fans opgebouwd met zijn oprechte, minimalistische songwriting, geworteld in klassieke folk. Hij brak door met het door de RIAA met goud bekroonde nummer ‘Next To You’ van zijn veelgeprezen debuutalbum Songs From the Valley, dat hij in eigen beheer uitbracht en waarmee hij zijn intieme vertelkunst en warme stemgeluid bij een breed publiek introduceerde. Na een periode van bezinning en heroriëntatie keerde Vincent in 2023 terug met Songs for the Canyon, een suggestief en veelomvattend tweede album dat hij samen met Grammy-winnende engineer Tom Elmhirst produceerde in Electric Lady Studios. Het project betekende een belangrijke artistieke sprong voorwaarts, waarbij hij zijn sonische palet verbreedde met behoud van de emotionele directheid die zijn werk kenmerkt. Nu zet John dat momentum voort in zijn volgende volledige album, dat binnenkort uitkomt, waarbij hij zijn geluid verder ontwikkelt en tegelijkertijd de rauwe eerlijkheid en het vakmanschap verdiept die zijn handelsmerk zijn geworden.

After entering a daring new creative era with her breakout hit “Run Rabbit,” Mollie’s music continues to examine life’s thorniest questions with all the charm and tension and dazzling eccentricity of a timeless fairy tale.“I’ve always believed that even the most confusing and painful parts of life can still be beautiful and joyful and romantic in their own way,” says Mollie. “I realized at a young age that I needed to look at the world through rose-colored glasses, and I truly think it saved my life. I want my music to create that feeling for other people, and give them a space where they can experience beauty and wonder in a way they might not find in their everyday lives.” “I’ve heard from people that my music helps them process hard things in a way that doesn’t feel difficult or scary, which is the biggest compliment I could ever receive,” she says. “It’s made me more excited to keep building little worlds for people to step into—I want everyone to feel safe and seen, and hopefully reconnect with parts of themselves they maybe thought they’d lost.”

LAUREN SANDERSON - COME SAY SUM TOUR EU/UK

Het uitkomen van Lauren Sandersons titelloze album ‘LAUREN’ markeert een scherpe koerswijziging naar een luidere, meer uitgesproken wereld. Geïnspireerd door het hyperactieve futurisme van Missy Elliott en de stevige nu-metal-sound van Limp Bizkit, verwerkt Sanderson deze invloeden tot iets dat helemaal van haarzelf is: zelfverzekerde queer-pop, die net zo goed bedoeld is voor de underground als voor het grote publiek. Hier is rebellie geen stijl of imago, maar een bewuste houding die volledig en zonder terughoudendheid wordt uitgedragen.

Lauren Sanderson

Lauren Sanderson her self-titled album ‘LAUREN’ out, signals a sharp left turn into a louder, more maximalist universe. Drawing from the hyperactive futurism of Missy Elliott and the nu-metal bite of Limp Bizkit, Sanderson refracts those influences into something distinctly her own: a swaggering, queer-pop provocation built for the lesbian underground as much as the mainstream. Here, rebellion isn’t an aesthetic - it’s a practiced discipline delivered at full volume.
