Big Daddy Wilson
Big Daddy Wilson est un artiste de blues américain, né en Caroline du Nord, dans une petite ville où grandir en étant noir et pauvre n’était pas facile.
Entouré de sa mère et de ses soeurs, il garde pourtant le souvenir d’une enfance heureuse et parvient à rester à l’écart des ennuis. Malgré ses origines modestes, sa voix s’est élevée jusqu’aux sommets de la scène musicale mondiale.
Big Daddy Wilson incarne le blues dans sa forme la plus pure. Sa passion pour la musique et son dévouement à son art ont fait de lui un artiste respecté et apprécié à travers le monde. Sa carrière illustre la beauté du blues : une musique née dans l’humilité et qui, à l’image de Wilson lui-même, s’épanouit sous le regard admiratif de son public.

With solid experience in rock, blues, and pop, the musicians of D&B strive to create music open to various influences and to establish a strong connection with their audience, symbolized by their energetic “howling dogs” performances.

The band recorded their first professional track at Studio UNISON in early 2020, which was featured on a compilation of Luxembourgish bands produced by the Blues Club Luxembourg and released at the end of 2020.

Marcus King
Marcus King explore le chagrin, l’addiction et la santé mentale à travers une musique chargée d’émotion et de regrets. Son vibrato puissant porte une douleur brute, tandis que ses paroles évoquent des nuits solitaires et des erreurs passées.
Originaire de Caroline du Sud et issu d’une lignée de musiciens, il commence la guitare à 8 ans, suivant les traces de son père et de son grand-père. Avec The Marcus King Band, il sillonne les routes et s’impose par son talent scénique hors pair. En 2020, il collabore avec Dan Auerbach pour enregistrer son premier album solo, El Dorado, qui lui vaut une nomination aux GRAMMY® dans la catégorie Meilleur album Americana. Il partage ensuite la scène avec Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet et Nathaniel Rateliff et se produit dans de grands festivals comme Stagecoach.
Engagé pour la santé mentale, il lance plusieurs initiatives, dont une vente aux enchères de guitares en collaboration avec MusiCares. En 2024, il dévoile Mood Swings, un album produit par Rick Rubin, où sa voix prend le premier rôle, reléguant sa guitare au second plan, bien qu’elle réserve encore des solos marquants. Dans cet album cathartique, King livre une interprétation brute et sincère, où la douleur se mêle à un espoir renaissant.

Hunneg-Strëpp
Hunneg-Strëpp is a brass band from Luxembourg that has been shaking up stages big and small since day one. With over 100 shows under their belt, they’ve earned a reputation for turning any venue – from village squares to major festival stages – into a full-blown party. Their mix of original compositions and inventive covers always comes with their own signature twist: energetic, surprising, and made to get people moving.
Over the years, they’ve brought their explosive live show to iconic venues like Rockhal, Atelier, and Rotondes, lit up festivals such as e-Lake, and even shared the stage with international acts like NAFT (Belgium) and Fäaschtbänkler (Switzerland) – proving they’re just as comfortable in front of thousands as they are in more intimate settings.
In 2024, they were awarded the Luxembourgish Music Prize, a recognition of their creativity and impact on the national music scene. That same year, they pulled off their biggest project yet: Hunneg-Strëpp & Friends Vol. 2 at Kulturfabrik – a sold-out show that brought together friends and guest artists for a one-night-only celebration of collaboration, community, and the band’s unique ability to bridge genres and generations.
Described as “a joyful collective that knows how to bring people together – on and off stage” (RTL) and as “proof that brass band music is alive, fresh, and full of surprises” (De Journal), Hunneg-Strëpp brings something different to every event – from open-air festivals to urban stages, and everything in between.
