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.

SONS OF THE CULTURE CLASH

Urban Dance Squad returns with new music under a new name! Singer/rapper Rudeboy and DJ DNA are joining forces once again, this time alongside three new band members. The result: brand-new tracks packed with energy, attitude, and that unmistakable sound that once took the world by storm.New Name, Familiar SoundIn 2021, frontman Rudeboy decided to bring the Urban Dance Squad catalog back to the stage. He assembled a group of seasoned musicians and invited original UDS DJ DNA to be part of the project. Performing under the name Rudeboy Plays UDS ft. DJ DNA, the band revisited songs from across the entire Urban Dance Squad discography. Following successful tours in Belgium and France—including an appearance at Hellfest—the first Dutch shows sold out almost immediately. In the years that followed, the band continued to tour extensively, playing numerous sold-out shows and recapturing the improvisational spirit, musical freedom, and explosive energy that made the original Urban Dance Squad such a formidable live act.This year, the next chapter begins. New music will be released through Sounds Haarlem/Suburban Records across two 10-inch vinyl releases. The signature blend of rap, rock, and turntables remains as vital as ever—raw, innovative, and instantly recognizable. That unique sound shines once again in full force. Starting this October, the band will hit the road with a set featuring both brand-new material and an arsenal of Urban Dance Squad classics.Urban Dance SquadAs pioneers of the crossover genre, Urban Dance Squad had a profound influence on bands such as Rage Against the Machine. The group achieved international success and built a formidable reputation as one of the most exciting live acts of its era. They earned the respect and support of artists including Lenny Kravitz and were invited to tour as support for both David Bowie and U2. After releasing five studio albums and following a turbulent yet groundbreaking career, Urban Dance Squad disbanded in 2000. Today, Rudeboy and DJ DNA are carrying that legacy forward—while writing an exciting new chapter of their own.
