Music from the swing era like Count Basie, Artie Shaw en also traditional repertoire from New Orleans. Tunes such as « Star Dust », “Slow boat to China », « When Sunny gets blue », » Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans ». The trademark of that genre is the happy, party like vibes and the strong, hypnotic & pulsating rhythm. People went out to dance to swinging bands and concerts were an opportunity to go party and have a great time. That’s what Sound Circus is going for. Another way to describe the band would be: Fun, full of energy, lyrical, swinging and romantic. In other words, timeless music to warm people’s heart and enchant their souls. The unusual instrumentation - mainly electric instruments - brings a new colour and a more modern twist to the old songs The band features 4 young talents from the new generation of belgian cats and 2 internationally acclaimed seasoned musicians, lead by established bassist Nicolas Thys paragraphs about your concert
