Van Morrison is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, author, poet and multi-instrumentalist, who is widely considered one of the most influential artists in the history of music. He has multiple albums that are ranked as the greatest in the entire rock and roll canon.
Van Morrison has journeyed far and wide since his early days, however performing in Belgium is always a spectacle to behold. His live performances are always music making at the highest pinnacle of musicianship, and his songcraft is of the highest level of any living performer today.
'One of the great singers in all of music, he remains at the absolute peak of his vocal powers. It is compelling, emotive and feels effortless as he stands still delivering vocals that feel like they can reach the heavens. On this night, he and his band soared to the highest reaches yet again. But that is nothing new for one of rock's true greats.’ Steve Baltin - LA show 2023.
Catch Van and his exceptional band live on 7 July at Gent Jazz for an unforgettable performance. Earlier this year, Van’s latest album Remembering Now entered the UK top 20, featuring the uplifting track Down To Joy - as heard in Kenneth Branagh’s Oscar-winning film Belfast (2021).
