Sound Circus's repertoire is based on the « golden era » of the Broadway musicals for the ’30’s till the ’50’s.

Music from the swing era like Count Basie, Artie Shaw en also traditional repertoire from New Orleans. Tunes such as « Star Dust », “Slow boat to China », « When Sunny gets blue », » Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans ».

The trademark of that genre is the happy, party like vibes and the strong, hypnotic & pulsating rhythm.

People went out to dance to swinging bands and concerts were an opportunity to go party and have a great time.

That’s what Sound Circus is going for.

Another way to describe the band would be: Fun, full of energy, lyrical, swinging and romantic.

In other words, timeless music to warm people’s heart and enchant their souls.

The unusual instrumentation - mainly electric instruments - brings a new colour and a more modern twist to the old songs

The band features 4 young talents from the new generation of belgian cats and 2 internationally acclaimed seasoned musicians, lead by established bassist Nicolas Thys
