Mama's Jacket

A promise made is a promise kept. The previous Mama’s Jasje album, released in 2023, carried the meaningful title Het Beste Moet Nog Komen. With their new record Ik Heb Wel Eens The Blues, Peter Vanlaet proves those words were far from empty. Over the past two years, Peter wrote a collection of new songs guided by a clear vision and a carefully considered plan. His ambition was simple yet bold, to create an album unlike anything previously made in Flanders. Blues is more than a music genre. It is a feeling. In songs such as To an unknown soul and Only, you can hear that deep melancholy. In Mijn day that just began, Skin hunger, From the gut and the autobiographical Make a hit out of your shit, classic blues riffs form the foundation of what may well be Mama’s Jasje’s strongest album to date. Inspired by songwriters such as Jeff Buckley and Tom Waits, Peter brings the new songs to the stage with his five-piece band, intense, honest and straight from the heart. The band’s classic hits are also given a new dimension in this show, wrapped in moaning blues notes and pure emotion. With Peter Vanlaet, vocals Bert Verschueren, guitar Pieter Van Malder, keyboards Wouter Berlaen, bass Gert Meert, drums Virginie Jacquin, violin Do not miss this unique concert evening and experience Mama’s Jasje as you have never heard them before.
