Some guitarists are truly 'the full package'. Robert Cray is such a person: gifted (blues) rock guitarist, a warm, powerful singing voice and very fine songwriter skills. It did the man no harm: five Grammys, a few big hits (such as Right Next Door) and beautiful collaborations with greats such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt and John Lee Hooker.

Sona is the first woman to master the kora at such a high level, a West African stringed instrument that could be described as a cross between a harp and a guitar. With her band, the instrumentalist and singer makes a mix of blues, afropop and folkloric music. Her live shows are mesmerizing and swinging adventures that broaden your musical horizons!
BRIDGE AROUND TOWN
From raw rock and indie pop to incendiary metal, blues, gypsy and psychedelic rock. Especially a lot of special guitarists. With their bands of course. During BRIDGE Guitar Festival, in addition to a number of paid concerts, a large free city festival will also take place in the center of Eindhoven: BRIDGE AROUND TOWN. Spread over ten halls, there will soon be more than 50 acts on stage!
