Earlier in 2019, The Golden Glows recorded The Songbook of Harry Smith as a studio-live album. With Frederik Meulyzer on drums and Bram Weijters on keys, the Glows recorded 13 tracks at a frantic pace.

We’re pleased and proud to announce the digital release on October 2nd.
Out on vinyl October 22nd.

Theatre Tour coming up October – December.

Getting into a serious shape for our tribute to Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music at the AB Main Hall.

Buy your tickets for the concert on March 21st right here.

Since 2010 we have been working on a piece of cinema called Afterglow. Together with director Benny Vandendriessche and DOP Carlo Rottiers we created a short film that is The Golden Glows in another medium. Music and image are fully integrated. We’ve been working for ages on the soundtrack with a 22-piece orchestra and gorgeous otherworldly musical colors: lapsteel, conch shells, vibraphone, Ondes Martenot, female choir, bass clarinet, strings, brass…

The soundtrack premières tonight on radio Klara at exactly 21h13. Afterglow is also available on iTunes  and other digital platforms from today onwards.

We’re working hard at bringing the film to a silver screen near you.

A limited vinyl edition is in the making.

In line with their 2018 concert residency at AB, The Golden Glows are opening one of the finest free music festivals in the country, de Feeërieën.  We open on Monday evening for The Colorist feat. Emiliana Torrini.

It’s our second time at the lovely kiosk in Brussels’ Warandepark, we played A Folksongbook with guests in 2009. This time around, we’ll be bringing Harry Smith and The Anthology of American Folk Music under the trees.

The Songbook of Harry Smith is a monthly concert series of six, ending in December 2018. Next instalment is part III at the AB Salon, September 20th.
