Aidan & The Wild (NL) + Baptiste W. Hamon (FR) • Missy Sippy

INDIE-AMERICANA • FRENCHYCANA • SUPERCOUNTRY Two exceptional musicians, we welcome Dutch artist Aidan & The Wild and French country poet Baptiste W. Hamon for a special double bill on Sunday Night! 🎸 AIDAN & THE WILD (NL) INDIE-AMERICANA • INDIE-FOLK Behind Aidan & The Wild is Dutch multi-instrumentalist Diederik van den Brandt. With his unconventional guitar techniques, warm vocals and a collection of instruments including banjo, mandolin and pedal steel, he creates his own take on indie-americana and folk. His music moves somewhere between Ben Howard, Kurt Vile, Paul Simon and Jim Croce, with a nod to the golden days of Laurel Canyon. His self-produced debut album Revelation Never Came earned critical praise. With hundreds of concerts behind him, Aidan & The Wild has established himself on the Dutch folk and americana scene. 🪕 BAPTISTE W. HAMON (FR) FRENCHYCANA • SUPERCOUNTRY • HONKY TONK French country, American folk and poetry! Baptiste W. Hamon combines the musical traditions of Nashville with the language and poetry of French chanson. Inspired by Townes Van Zandt, Serge Gainsbourg, Leonard Cohen and John Prine, Hamon has developed a personal approach to country and folk, singing primarily in French. His debut album L’Insouciance was recorded in Nashville with producer Mark Nevers and featured collaborations with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Caitlin Rose. It was followed by Soleil, soleil bleu and Jusqu'à la lumière, produced by John Parish. His album Country (2024) explores French outlaw country and honky tonk, while Townes and I (2026) pays tribute to Townes Van Zandt with French interpretations of his songs. Two fine artists, beautiful music and a Sunday evening dedicated to americana, folk and country. 🌾 Klein Turkije 16, 9000 Gent (near Korenmarkt) Entrance is free. No reservations.
