After years of hard work Guy Verlinde has become the Belgian blues pride. And though it may sound like a dusty cliché, he's by far "the hardest working performer" within the Belgian blues scene. In eight years he released 9 albums and signed a record deal with the prestigious labels Parsifal (B) & Dixefrog Records (FR). In 2011 he won the Belgian Blues Award. He represented Belgium at the European Blues Challenge '12 in Berlin (D), and in 2014 he was voted “Best Live Act”. The last few years the European Blues scene has also discovered Guy Verlinde after his tours in Holland, Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Slowakia, Luxembourg, …

Guy Verlinde not only tours non-stop with his band "The Mighty Gators". He also performs as a "One Man Band" with his resonator & Weissenborn guitars & an old suitcase as drumkit. In 2011 he founded the only Hound Dog Taylor tribute band in Europe, to keep the legacy of Hound Dog Taylor alive. As he once got infected by the blues at a young age, Guy Verlinde also wants to introduce the blues to youngsters. Therefore he has a "Blues in Schools" project. And he organizes two times a month a blues jam session in his home town Ghent for young blues musicians. As his slide guitar & harp style are very emotional, unique & authentic, a Guy Verlinde show is always very energetic. As he says:" In a world of plastic & virtuality, people want real things". A Guy Verlinde show is all about energy and total surrender to the audience. This makes him a real crowd pleaser.

After recording his Hound Dog Taylor Tribute album in 2011, Guy Verlinde now presents this high-energy album with 11 originals in that same tradition and spirit with a contemporary sound.
