Tom
Verstappen (21) could have been a great harmonica player. He admits he kept
asking one to her mom when he was three years old, “even before speaking
properly”. However, the fate made him follow another path, although not a very
different one, since it was also related to music. He is the lead voice of
Byron Bay, a Belgian band that has recently visited Barcelona. Being influenced
by the old American songwriters, like Jackson Brown, the group has three other
members: Dries Lybaert (21), the guitarist, David Maes (26), the keyboardist,
and Sander Stuer (20), who plays the drums. Nearly all of them have a classical
music background, despite moving soon to a more contemporary jazzy and poppy
style. Adria’s News shares a beer with Byron Bay just before their last concert
on their tour.
