An evening with EmBRUN? That’s a tent to the brim filled with an enthusiastic audience. It’s dancing to the tunes of a modern folk band playing at full power. One moment steamy and swinging, the other wonderfully intimate. EmBRUN is a smooth-running five-cylinder engine with plenty of horsepower, rhythmically tight and musically surprising. And with their mileage, they know how to deliver their energy to all audiences.

EmBRUN has been a fixed value in the Belgian and European folk scene since 2003. From day one, they have surprised both friend and foe with their view on folk in the 21st century. Their music is rooted in tradition, yet peppered with progressive sounds and rhythms.
