Say “Hi” to Steve!

Hello Gumbeez

We are thrilled to introduce our new singer Steve to you all! After numerous auditions and listening to many talented singers, we are confident that Steve is the perfect fit for our band.

Steve is a talented vocalist with a unique voice and a passion for music that has inspired us all. He has years of experience in the music industry and has sung in various bands. We are excited to have him join our team and can’t wait to perform with him.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to participate in the auditions. We saw so much talent and it was a difficult decision to make. We appreciate your effort and hope that you continue to sing and make music.

With Steve as our new singer, we are determined to continue entertaining our fans with our music and we look forward to seeing you at our next performance.

We’re looking for a singer!

We recently received some bad news: Ben has decided to leave GumboGumbo!

We are still shocked by it ourselves, but realize that the musical path of GumboGumbo! continues. Therefore, it’s necessary for us to start a search for a new singer.

What are we looking for?

You can sing in tune;

You are creative and can write melodies and lyrics;

You are a front man and not afraid to interact with the audience;

You have (some) free time. We rehearse max 2x per month in Ternat.

You don’t qualify yourself, but you know someone who does? Don’t wait any longer and send him our way. To get an idea about the music we make, check out the Albums and Video section of our website. Fancy an audition? Questions? > info[at]gumbogumbo[dot]be

Happy New Year!

Well, 2021 was a crap year to play in a band.
Fingers crossed in 2022 things will improve.
We wish all our families, friends and fans the best for next year.
May the fuzz be with you! 🙏

*** GumboGumbo! is looking for an additional singer ***

No worries, Ben is going nowhere.
But we do love vocal harmonies and would like to extend that.

What are we looking for:

  • Male voice (Sorry ladies)
  • You sound different than Ben
  • You can rehearse in Ternat
  • You speak Dutch, French or English
  • Experience with lead and backing vocals
  • You have a great personality and will leave your ego at home
  • Being able to write good lyrics is a plus

Sounds good? Or you know someone who could be interested?

Send us a mail on info[at]gumbogumbo.be and we”ll get back at you as soon as we can.

Band life after Covid

You have probably noticed that we have no gigs in the near future. Nothing to worry about, we are not actively looking at the moment.
This is a deliberate choice. After the pandemic, the market is saturated and top bands play for next to nothing. We also notice that venues currently prefer to book a coverband instead of a professional band with original music. Welcome to 2021…
We have chosen to keep ourselves busy writing new music and rehearsing it in our regular spot at the Noise Gate. This is a slow process because we are not easily satisfied and of the 10 songs we write, only two or three remain.

Still, the intention is to record new work as soon as possible and then get back on stage.

We will certainly keep you informed.

Stay tuned, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings!

PS: We finally have a HTTPS connection for our website so you can safely visit us.

Blues Excuse

Exactly 4 years ago, we released our single Blues Excuse. We aren’t totally objective, but think it still rocks! What do you think?

Oh Lord have mercy!

Our website was becoming unstable after a WordPress update.

We needed some time to fix it but we’re back!

We’re good

Dear Gumbeez

Crazy times…
Covid19 is giving the world a hard time and we don’t have to explain any more it isn’t possible to do any gigs at the moment.
We’re using our time to write some new songs at home.
As soon as it’s possible and safe, we start rehearsing again and we hope to see you soon while we all enjoy live music.
Until that day, stay safe Gumbeez!
