About Jasper Steverlinck

Jasper Steverlinck behoort tot de meest succesvolle Belgische artiesten van de afgelopen twintig jaar. Als zanger en songwriter van de Gentse rockband Arid veroverde hij Europa en daarbuiten met zijn uitzonderlijke stem. Ook solo behaalde hij goud en stond wekenlang in de hitlijsten.

Internationale grootheden als Bono, Eddie Vedder en Randy Newman prezen hem, en hij werd treffend omschreven als “de ziel van een dichter met de stem van een engel.” Na uitverkochte tours met zijn eerdere soloalbums, brengt Jasper in januari 2025 zijn derde album, The Healing, uit. Dit wordt gevolgd door een indrukwekkende tour van 70 concerten. Op 21 maart is Muziekgieterij aan de beurt.

"Night Prayer" en Kritische Acclaim
