LIGHTNIN’ BUG

Gaasserockbluesband

About

Gaasserockbluesband was founded following an announcement in Luxbazar which read: « bass player is looking for a bluesband ».

A trio, composed of Pascal Graffé, Mäx Courtois and Fränk Henkes started to meet once a week to play Blues. More and more Blues Rock was gradually incorporated to the sound of the band as well as Luxembourgish songs drawn from Fränk’s quill.

The initial gigs were performed as a trio. During a show at the Liquid Bar in the Grund the band invited Régis Rolando-Eugio to play along and from that moment onwards we were now a quartet. Nicolas Wise took the spot behind the shooting range to replace Pascal.

It was with Fenny Gillen, who we knew from Dali’s Dream, that the band’s long-awaited wish was fulfilled of having a pianist and hammond player on stage.

Sneaky Pete

About

Sneaky Pete is an experienced blues, rock, jazz, and soul band.

Founded in 1992 by Claude Daleiden, Sneaky Pete has successfully influenced the music scene in Luxembourg and the border regions for over 30 years.

The Band is a conglomeration of six musicians from Ukraine, Luxembourg, France, and Belgium. These diverse musical currents influence their own compositions.

Their music is elaborate, catchy, and irresistible. It is influenced mainly by the power and timbre of Natalya Sivova's (UA) voice, the versatile and sensitive guitar of Claude Daleiden (LU), the harmony and fusion of sounds on the piano by Fred Janovec (FR), the precision and strength of the rhythm section composed by Georges Konen (LU) on drums and each beat on the precise rhyme of René Quesnoit (LU) on bass, and the warm jazzy influence in the saxophone playing of Denis Heynen (BE).

Sneaky Pete is no ordinary band but is versatile in their approach to innovative and contemporary American music.

Their unique entertainment brand fuses hard-hitting grooves with beautiful sounds and surprising vocals that make you want to dream.

LIGHTNIN’ BUG

About

It is not generally known that there is a torrid, feverish Belgium, washed by the astonishing straits of the Mississippi. Yet this is where the power trio ‘LIGHTNIN’ BUG' was formed.

Formed in 1997 by Greg JANICKI, singer and lead-guitarist with a poignant, incisive style, and capable of blazing outbursts of joy on his indestructible Stratocaster.

Accompanied by a high-flying rhythm section, as sharp and precise as the hum of an aircraft with BIDON on bass and Philippe PAHAUT on drums.

With 3 CDs to their credit, ‘Landing on the Blues Ground’, ‘Lincolnshire Session’ and ‘Blues Express’, these three musketeers offer you a surprising and explosive blues, at times languorous, at times fat and full of stains, with the touch of the greats.
