GUO-concert: André van den Boogaart + Klaas Delrue + Gé Reinders = Soft G x 3

A “3-in-1” Nashville-style concept—surely we can pull that off here too? But with, say, three very different Dutch-language singer-songwriters—perhaps three from the Southern Netherlands, such as Limburg, Flanders, or Zeeland, and of course our own Brabant. Not necessarily three traditional regional singers, but rather three Dutch-language artists, each with a different “soft G.” Though not three completely unknown singer-songwriters. All three have built up a substantial fan base regionally—if not beyond.

Brabant native André van den Boogaart has long been making a name for himself with an authentic, unpolished, gritty repertoire that’s rough on the outside but sweet on the inside—and unmistakably from our neck of the woods. Meanwhile, Flemish musician Klaas Delrue may be a relative newcomer as a more refined solo artist, but—certainly in his own region, and perhaps to a lesser extent elsewhere in the Netherlands—he gained fame as the frontman of the finely tuned, Dutch-language band Yevgueni. And then there’s Limbo Gé Reinders: what more is there to say about him? One word seems to suffice: Blaosmuziek. But since COVID struck in 2020, Gé has reinvented himself as a self-proclaimed singer-songwriter in retirement. Only to get back into it six years later—albeit in moderation.
