Marcelle

Marcelle is the musical project of the Ghent singer-songwriter and producer Marte Truyers. The name is a tribute to Marcel, her deceased rooster, and to all uncles with beer bellies. A quirky combination that immediately makes it clear that she does not follow beaten paths. What started with personal songs on guitar grew into a band project in which narrative songs, multi-part vocals, and an organic sound come together. Met Tom Peeters on drums, Zjef Van Steenbergen on double bass, and Werend Van den Bossche on saxophone, Marcelle moves between singer-songwriter, jazzy Americana, and alternative folk. Somewhere between the individuality of Feist, the frankness of Adrianne Lenker, and the raw work of PJ Harvey, Marcelle seeks her own path. Her songs are sometimes small and subdued, sometimes playful and headstrong, but always start from a personal perspective. No grand gestures, but music with character, room for detail, and an eye for what usually falls between the lines. In 2025, Marcelle was selected for Sound Track and played at, among others, Boomtown and Luisterplein during the Gentse Feesten. Marte is currently working on her first EP and, with her band, is continuing to build a live sound in which the songs get all the space they need. listen on vi.be instagram Brewery Live Session --- Tagged: Marcelle
