Sturgill Simpson’s Brussels show wasn’t just a concert—it was a three-hour odyssey through sound, time, and space, guided by a masterful artist unbound by genre. From the moment he took the stage, he transported the audience down an old country road that twisted and turned through blistering hard rock, blues-drenched improvisations, psychedelic tangents, and soft, ambient dirges. His signature smooth, gospel-tinged vocals acted as the anchor, seamlessly carrying us from one sonic world to the next.
What made this show truly remarkable was its fluidity. Album songs were reimagined, stretched, and transformed into something raw and alive. One moment, Simpson and his band were deep in a metal-infused frenzy; the next, they were easing into a stripped-down serenade that felt like a whispered secret between old friends. His unmatched skill was on full display, but it was his freedom, playfulness, and deep connection with the crowd that made the night feel special. He knew his audience, and they knew him—no gimmicks, no pretension, just pure musical communion.
Simply put, this show was worth every mile traveled to Brussels. I left with a T-shirt, a full heart, and the feeling that I had just witnessed something truly rare. Sturgill Simpson isn’t just performing—he’s taking us somewhere. And I’d follow him down that road anytime.

Passage Du Desir, under a new name, Johnny Blue Skies. The eight-song album was produced by
Johnny Blue Skies and David Ferguson and recorded at Clement House Recording Studio in
Nashville, TN and Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
Simpson and his band—Kevin Black (bass), Robbie Crowell (keys), Laur Joamets (guitar) and
Miles Miller (drums)—will also make their long-awaited return to the road this fall with the
"Why Not? Tour." Simpson’s first full tour in over four years, the extensive headline run includes

2019’s Sound & Fury and 2021’s The Ballad of Dood and Juanita—along with the 2020
projects, Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Throughout his singular career, Simpson has relentlessly
