Brussels Rhythm and Blues Club

The Brussels Rhythm and Blues Club exists for people that enjoy live music with soul. Started by three friends back in 2002 on a non-profit making basis, it aims to recreate the ambience of a Chicago blues club with non-stop live bands.

Usually one Saturday every month we put on a double bill of rhythm and blues bands, with each band playing twice. Our house band The Witness, play Jimmy Reed, the Flaming Groovies, Little Richard, Bobby Womack, the Kinks and others, plus their own compositions.

Our guest bands reflect the broad R’nB church that runs from soul and funk (The Boogaloo Investigators, Bai Kamara), through Chicago blues (The Toddlers) to rock and roll (Roberto) and garage rock (The Wildebeests, The Masonics).

The BRBC was originally hosted by the Athanor in the centre of Brussels but moved to the beautiful turn of the century café ‘Le Sounds’ in the heart of Ixelles from March 2003, where you can enjoy a wide range of beers and wines and excellent Italian food.
