John Hiatt, Sa 04.07.2026, Gent Jazz Gent

'Riding With The King', "Cry Love”, "Have A Little Faith In Me”, "Thing Called Love”, "Perfectly Good Guitar”... John Hiatt is responsible for a significant part of our collective musical memory. One of the most influential singer-songwriters of the past fifty years, he is now bidding farewell to the stage with his "Farewell To Europe” solo tour. He returns to the essence: songs that unpretentiously draw on their own strength. Hiatt started out as a songwriter for others, but with Bring The Family (1987) - featuring his biggest hit "Have A Little Faith In Me” - he definitively established himself as a solo artist. His raw, raspy voice, lived-in lyrics and unerring sense of melody made him a key figure in Americana and its many offshoots. More than twenty albums, numerous Grammy nominations and an impressive list of artists - including Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan and B.B. King - who have covered his work are proof of his lasting influence. Gent Jazz welcomes him for this unique and intimate final European tour.
