For fans of: Sufjan Stevens, caroline, Nils Økland
Abel Ghekiere is a Belgian multi-instrumentalist whose sound emerges from minimalist jazz, traditional folk, and field recordings. On his debut album Voor het verdwijnt, themes of grief and loss resonated—an album that gently sways and comforts. In his new music, however, he explores greater openness, softness, and euphoria. This led to the beautiful album In de verte, dit uitzicht.
With this new music under his arm, Abel has performed at festivals such as Gent Jazz, BRDCST, Leffingeleuren, Into The Great Wide Open, and Motel Mozaïque. He has also been invited to support acts including Alabaster dePlume, Black Country New Road, and caroline. On stage, Abel plays guitar, clarinet, and banjo, supported by Tobias Volckaert (saxophone), Orlan Ghekiere (drums), and Hendrike Scharmann (violin).
