"On the hotspot was Brick de Bois / Floatstone from Antwerp, Belgium, who played tremendously well. Brick banged on his guitar as if fighting for his life. We were impressed!"

Bio
FLOATSTONE brings a few guitars, all in a different tuning along with a portfolio of funky, ballady, rootsy, original songs. Fingernails hit strings or wood alike, giving an often percussive sound and beat. Capos come, slide and go. Strings buzz, twang or break. Lyrics flow from the gut wrenchingly real over the metaphorically formulated to the hilariously hollow.
Defying definition, FLOATSTONE's audiences have compared him to all of these names:
Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Morissey, Ry Cooder, Andy McKee, Neil Young, Jack Johnson, Luka Bloom, John Martyn, Raul Midón, Chris Whitley
FLOATSTONE is currently recording his debut CD and producing his own video clips to a choice of tracks on the album.
The CD will be released in the spring of 2012. He will be joined by two top class jazz musicians. Kristof Roseeuw on double bass and cello and Danny Van Hoeck on percussion.
Following the release concerts they will be playing a small release tour at selected venues in Belgium and the Netherlands and will travel to New Orleans and Austin to give the States a taste of what his music is all about.
FLOATSTONE is Brick de Bois’ musical alter ego.
It’s a platform to release Songs from the Soul in the Language of the Heart.
A return to musical roots, to the pure Art of song writing.
Not for the faint of heart, but then again...
