BRUUT! is a high-energy, dynamic band. Their music ranges from vibrant hues to raw, primal sounds, from danceable rhythms to atmospheres that demand attentive listening. From the surrealism of Quentin Tarantino films and flea market records to the soundtracks of classic Westerns.

Internationally, the band continues its expansion with concerts in Japan, Poland, Burkina Faso, Germany, England, South Africa, Spain, Suriname, Turkey, and Belgium. They have also left an indelible mark on festivals such as Tokyo Jazz, Glimps, National Arts, Istanbul Jazz, North Sea Jazz, and Eurosonic/Noorderslag.

In 2012, BRUUT! released their self-titled debut album, followed by the well-received ‘Fire’ in 2013. With ‘Mad Pack’ (2015), BRUUT! proved they are one of the most creative and refreshing bands in their genre today.

Currently, concerts in Turkey, Japan, and Spain have been confirmed for 2016, and the quartet is working on new material, which will be released in the spring of 2017.

Bruut! are: Maarten Hogenhuis (saxophone), Folkert Oosterbeek (Hammond organ), Thomas Rolff (bass), and Felix Schlarmann (drums). More information at: http://www.bruutmusic.com
