ABOUT
As a solo musician Vincent Slegers brings original songs, rooted in the tradition of primitive and primal American music, with a penchant for the darker side of things. with his trusted - and equally rusted - vintage National guitar he´ll pull you in to a world of gloomy soundscapes where hardship and hope go hand in hand.
"Incredibly authentic sounding homegrown blues. Raw, Well-lived and passionate." - Artiest Zoekt Feestneus Jury, Gent.
NEWS
Recently Vincent got invited to record a track for the upcoming `Missy Sippy Allstars´ album, for which he recorded together with long-time friend and musical colleague Olivier Vander Bauwede (harmonica) and the ever-grooving Bernd Coene (Drums).
The album will be released in Spring 2020, with a special release show on March 6th at the Missy Sippy Blues and Roots Club in Ghent, Belgium.
