The Me in You
Impressed by the rough edits of their upcoming album, I was happy to join The Me in You.
We released and toured with album nr 4 "How Does It Feel to Be Wrong All The Time". We made our heartfelt contrubution to Jeroen Meus' documentary "Dagen zonder broer" and are currently working on the fifth album.
Stay tuned!!

Open Garage Trio
Chris Mentens (double bass), Nathan Kerstens (piano) and Nico Manssens (drums) played together in different line-ups over the years.
A first concert in trio confirmed the magic and a pile of compositions were waiting in the drawer. Determined to develop the music, they worked on the pieces in the Garage, the musical epicenter of the Mentens household.
In the music we find echoes of the open sound of the ECM label, but most of all we hear original pieces for 3 equal voices: drums, bass and piano. Or how a sound from Munich and a garage in Merksem can be connected and old love never dies.
