Jesse van Ruller Trio
BRIDGE AROUND TOWNBRIDGE Guitar FestivalSat 1 Jun ’24The credentials of Jesse van Ruller are probably well-known among jazz guitar enthusiasts by now. Whether it's his performances alongside some of the world's greatest musicians, his prestigious Thelonious Monk Award win (with judges like John Scofield, Pat Metheny, and Jim Hall), or the numerous beautiful albums he's released since his debut in 1996 (both solo and with collaborators like SfeQ, Hans Teeuwen, and Benjamin Herman), you might have read about it all before. Jesse van Ruller is simply one of the most celebrated jazz guitarists in the Netherlands and Europe. So, it's only fitting that he graces the stage at BRIDGE AROUND TOWN. He's inventive, dexterous, plays with great expressiveness, and always surprises with his melodies and harmonies.

The Music of Gary Lucas & Jeff Buckley
BRIDGE AROUND TOWNBRIDGE Guitar FestivalSat 1 Jun ’24When two giants collaborate, they can elevate each other to great heights. That's precisely what happened when Gary Lucas and Jeff Buckley found each other. One conjured atmospheric, elusive guitar lines from his fingertips. The other possessed a celestial voice with an impossible range. Together, they created pure magic with Grace. This album is now thirty years old. To commemorate that memorable moment, guitarist Gary Lucas will perform a special show during a Heroes Night at the BRIDGE Guitar Festival, in collaboration with Co de Kloet.

Aure
BRIDGE AROUND TOWNBRIDGE Guitar FestivalSat 1 Jun ’24When Aure takes the stage, it's time for stillness. For attention. And for music that takes you to a dream landscape. With her deep, sultry voice, French Aure inevitably evokes thoughts of greats like Nico or Françoise Hardy. She sings about her doubts and love confronted with time, in direct lyrics that she delivers as emotional snapshots, without adornment. The stripped-down production, mainly with guitar and voice, emphasizes that directness, like a contemporary Nick Drake, or more recently Big Thief, Mariee Sioux, and also Jeff Buckley. On her acoustic guitar, Aure finds beautiful chord progressions that form a fine carpet for her unique voice.

Cloud Cafe
BRIDGE AROUND TOWNBRIDGE Guitar FestivalSat 1 Jun ’24Some terms used to describe music don't really capture the essence. In the case of Cloud Cafe, the term 'grungefolk' does indeed get you quite a bit in the right direction. The quartet, led by guitarist/vocalist Tara Wilts, creates melancholic songs with a raw edge. The band's tracks, signed by Excelsior Recordings – a notable stamp of approval – evoke comparisons to the likes of Mazzy Star and Big Thief. Additionally, Wilts draws inspiration from artists such as Neil Young, Laura Marling, and Molly Drake (yes, Nick's mother). "Tender and dreamy songs that fill the room and make it sway," as described by 3voor12 in a review of their performance at Paradiso. During BRIDGE AROUND TOWN, they fill M with their delightful 'musical microcosm of everyday chaos and melancholy.'

Laura Lootens
Award-winning guitarist plays Paganini & RodrigoBRIDGE Guitar FestivalSun 2 Jun ’24The world's smallest orchestra, it is called. The guitar! Because this modest instrument can produce an enormous variety of sounds. It lends a voice to every mood. Today we start with music from Spain, a country that has shaped the guitar like no other. Spirit, passion, wistful melodies by way of Albeniz and Rodrigo, known for the famous Concierto d'Aranjuez. Then we cross over to Italy. The guitar conveys the Italian 'bel canto' (literally: beautiful singing) in the best possible way.

Fabrizio Paterlini
For fans of Nils Frahm, Joep Beving, and HauschkaSound & SilenceTue 4 Jun ’24The music of Italian composer and pianist Fabrizio Paterlini can be categorized into various genres, including neoclassical, ambient, new age, and minimal. However, what might be more fitting are the adjectives commonly used to describe his music: airy, sensitive, emotional, dreamy, delicate, and passionate. Paterlini himself characterizes his music as "a glass of red wine on a summer evening," emphasizing the calming effect it has on listeners. In October 2023, he released his new album 'Riverscape,' inspired by the flows, rhythms, and stories carried by water. Critics describe the work as emotional, ethereal, and notably passionate.
