“Little Somethings”

2019

Kirri’s Travelin’ Kitchen Jam’s second EP presents 8 brand new songs about the joys and burdens of life, composed by multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Kris Valvekens in a mix of acoustic pop and blues.

Kirri: “It was time to bring the songs that have been in my head for a very long time and to bring them solo. On a sunny Sunday, I went to Studio Fandango, where a jam lead to creative and spontaneous recording sessions.”

Dirk (Studio Fandango): “All we needed for these beautiful songs was acoustic guitar, blues harp, percussion and an occasional dobro. And Kirri’s voice, of course, which really resembles that of Neil Diamond. The result: pure roots music.

“1 / One”

2014

This first EP presents 6 brand new songs of multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Kris (Kirri) Valvekens. The mixture of rock, pop, blues, swing, zydeco and funk first takes you to New Orleans and ends up in the nightly parisien streets. 

Kirri’s Travelin’ Kitchen Jam is composed of 4 men that have long deserved their credits: Kris (Kirri) Valvekens (vocals, electric and acoustic guitar, lapsteel, mandoline and bluesharp), Marc Steenbergen (piano, organ and backing vocals), Erik Hermans (bass and backing vocals) and Johan Asselberghs (drums). 

Kirri is blessed with a voice resembling that of Neil Diamond, which gives his music an “americana feel” and takes the listener through different musical scenes.

Tracks

1. Bad Weather Blues - 2. Nothing Matters - 3. Going To Town - 4. Herman’s Walk - 5. Sometimes Love - 6. These Days
