Emilie & the Movers

Emilie is a singer-songwriter from New York,

Toronto and New York-based singer-songwriter Emilie Mover, daughter of famed saxophonist Bob Mover, has garnered an international following for her authentic, understated style and has appeared in numerous films, television shows and commercials.

She has released more than seven studio albums to rave reviews and won a prestigious Canadian Juno Award in 2013.

Her latest full-length album, Night Owl, is a collection of 12 classics in a variety of genres, showing a great understanding of melody in perfect harmony with lyrics.

Her approach to songwriting, which seamlessly blends the depth and harmonic complexity of jazz with the simplicity of folk and classic country, reveals a deep and innovative understanding of the 20th century American songbook, and her live show has been hailed by critics as "an exercise" in songwriting that gently captures the listener with equal doses of absurdity, depth and self-deprecating humour.

For this tour she is accompanied by:

Radio producer and keyboardist Jan Hautekiet

Born in Brussels, Jan has been a "former" Belgian radio producer since autumn 2018 and a musician, consultant, reporter, president and producer since 1973. He began working in radio in 1979 at the time of BRT1, then as a producer of social programmes. On 1 April 1983, when Studio Brussels was first being talked about, he was one of the very first radio producers to work there. He produced the programme 'Hallo Hautekiet', a major talk show.

From 2007 to 2010, he presented the current affairs quiz 'Dubbelcheck' on Radio 1. In 2011, he presented the interview programme "Touché" during the summer holidays. In September 2012, he launched a new show on Radio 1: "Hautekiet".

In the meantime, he has always continued to make music. In 1999, he and Patrick Riguelle founded the De Laatste Showband, which provided the music for the TV programme of the same name until 2011. He has mastered several instruments, including piano, keyboards and guitar. Over the years, Jan has appeared in bands such as Bart Peeters and the Radios, Blue Blot and The Scabs. Jan even took part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1987! He was the keyboardist on Liliane Saint-Pierre's song "Soldiers of Love".

Bassist and singer Bart Buls is a man who breathes music. Whether on guitar, vocals or bass, it's always real and alive!

(Guy Swinnen/singer, guitarist, leader of Les Scabs)

John Snauwaert's creativity and ability to communicate through his instruments are mature and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. He feels at home in all styles and is equally at home in blues and more difficult chord structures.

"I've played jazz and Brazilian music with John Snauwaert and his imagination and gift for melody and improvisation are extraordinary in both styles. What's more, his sound is pure and lush and a perfect match for the sound of the bass!
