Fougue (Switzerland)
Monday April 10, 20:00 – 20:45
The Swiss singer, Florian Berger, alias Fougue, made himself a name with his jazz piano improvisations and his remarkably soulful voice. His compositions reflect those of Ray Charles and are filled with an energy akin to Tina Turner and the Blues Brothers. Following his involvement in the „Blues Brothers Revival Band“ and his last solo project „Mister Go“, the singer-songwriter re-enters the stage as Fougue. He presents pop at its finest; gospel harmonies merging with jazz compositions along with energetic Rythm ‘n’ Blues. Fougue’s contageous music sweeps up and exhilerates his audiences.

Paraden (Sweden)
Tuesday April 11, 20:00 – 21:15
Paraden is a nine strong orchestra that was formed in the Swedish forests. The band members dreamed of a reggae band that wouldn’t be ruled by greed, and few brief phone calls later Paraden was born. While the number of band members has varied through out the years, all members that make up the band today have played together on prior occasions.

Soma Age (Netherlands)
Thursday April 13, 21:15 – 22:15
Soma age is a musical and human adventure, which started in 2010 when Gralex (Guitar, Rap), Fiv’s (Drums), Pit’s (Guitar, Vocals), Eyal (Percussions) and Baltniks (Keyboards, Rap) first met in Versailles.
From the good old days of high school to Maastricht five years later, where Mateusz (Bass) joined the band and where they release their first EP, a strong friendship was built.
The band evolved and grew not only around music, but also around travelling and community living. This special relationship expresses itself on stage where the spontaneity and the 
connection with the public result from a shared
experience in street performances and improvisation. A Soma Age concert is a journey in which one might dance or dream, shout or laugh, but will never fall asleep. It’s a different world from one song to another, with rap, choirs, hazy waves, african drumming, funky groove and psychedelic trance.
