Olivier Vander Bauwede

Olivier Vander Bauwede is a harmonica player and multi-instrumentalist from Ghent. What began as innocent, though certainly not mischievous, playing, creating and experimenting on the Flemish blues scene – where he developed his own sound and playing style as he went along – continued at the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels. There, alongside an artistic grounding in jazz and blues, he also laid a solid academic foundation.

In his musical practice, Olivier — in addition to jazz and blues — is also active as a studio musician for TV, radio and theatre productions; and he leads various jam sessions.
