Rawhide - Belgium
Starting in the early  70's this 6 piece band really got on their way in 1992. They bring you a refreshing mix of  country music, old-time, and bluegrass with influences of pop and jazz. They also write and perform their own songs. Vocally they are at their best when performing gospel music. Their show is interspersed with a lot of typical Belgican humor

A relatively new group on the horizon, they have already won themselves quite a name as an outstanding bluegrass and gospel group. They won the 2nd place in the Band of the Year contest at the EWOB 1999 and the first place in 2000! Leadsinger Zbynek Bures writes a lot of high quality bluegrass songs that have already been recorded by their own group as well as by others like Monogram, Relief, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, the Chapmans, and the Early Grass
Revival. They play a great many showdates a year and have recently done a very succesful tour of England. They have also just released their new cd called Simply Relief 2001.
