Jesse Dee @ AB, Brussels
If you are mesmerised by soul music, come and see Jesse Dee play at the AB in Brussels on Thursday 1 October. The American-born singer has a truly traditional R&B sound. De Standaard wrote ‘Connoisseurs will quickly be able to hear that this man is no slavish imitator: he mixes the styles of Stax and Motown as if they'd always belonged together... Great discovery!' Check out his songs on the AB website.
