Two years after the crash, Bert Dockx presents his new Bert Dockx Band and ‘Ghosts', an album of rebirth and transgression, one of many firsts. Dockx never dedicated this much time to meticulously crafting each song.

The relaxed and positive atmosphere during the recordings is magnified in what Dockx calls 'my best guitar playing ever’, and the deep, powerful use of his voice in its natural range.  

 

For more than a decade, Bert Dockx has been one of the most prolific and versatile musicians in Belgium. A masterful guitarist, gifted songwriter, and innovative composer, crossing boundaries between avant-garde rock, customized blues, and instrumental jazz, with bands such as Flying Horseman, Dans Dans, and Ottla, singing in his native Dutch as Strand, or solo under his birth name, and now as the Bert Dockx Band.    

 

'Ghosts' is his fifteenth (!) album on the Ghent-based label Unday Records.
