02/07/2022 à 20h00 : The Monotrol Kid :  The Belgian based singer-songwriter, TheMonotrol Kid, can say his days as a lonesome wandering storyteller are over. While his first album came in in a singer-songwriter style, his new album will grab you and will get under your skin. Folk - Americana lead by a distinctive voice and not far of the sound of the “Mermaid Avenue” albums by Wilco and Billy Bragg and the harmonies of The Jayhawks. 

                  et à 21h15 : Marco R. Wagner (USA) : Grandson of an orchestra director of German descent, son of a Spanish painter and a Brazilian pianist, Marco was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro's 1960's art scene. He left for the U.S. in the 80’s to drink from all the traditional styles that meld into this enormous umbrella we call Americana. His fourth album “140 Reasons” (Several Records, 2005) was a candidate for the Spanish Academy of Music Awards in two categories, and his acclaimed anti-war single "Democratize" was featured on Neil Young’s website. Marco has toured with artists such as Sid Griffin (The Long Ryders), Gene Taylor (Canned Heat, The Blasters) or Luthea Salom. His latest work “Back to the Plow” is a record made with the love of someone who minds to detail his condition as a rooted artist, where he tracked all instruments and vocals in his home studio during the pandemic. Edited and mastered by Grammy-Award winner Michael Saint-Leon (The Switchyard Studios, Nashville) and published by Several Records, critics have compared some of Marco’s songs to those of Gordon Lightfoot, Loudon Wainwright III or James Taylor. 

Profitez des nombreuses terrasses sur le site dont les deux bars éphémères de l’évènement. Louvain-la-Plage a de quoi vous faire passer un beau mois de juillet et retrouver ce sentiment de liberté et d’évasion, un bon plan pour un réel dépaysement à deux pas de chez vous. 

Au plaisir de vous y voir et de passer une bonne soirée en votre compagnie.
