Eli Goffa
It does not go too far to assume that Eli Goffa is one of the greatest talents under the new Lichting Singer-Songwriters. Soul, roots a little bluesy and funky. Virtuoso guitar playing and a voice that can and goes in all directions. Moreover, able to win and pack an audience for him in no time.

Enfin: almost too many superlatives to unite in a person. Yet it is.

Eli Goffa is a creation by Elie de Prijcker from Sint-Niklaas (BE). Raised between Father's dusty record collection from the 1970s, Eli became passionate about Americana music for good. You can hear that from his fragile but with moments also powerful self -written songs that already go to CSN & Y, José Gonzales, Blind Faith or Ray Lamontagne.


about his new album wrote Willem Jongeneelen (OOR Magazine NL) the following:Eli Goffa is bursting with talent, writes beautiful poetic lyrics and stays purely with his voice to the highest regions. "

" Eli Goffa Live is an extremely professional show of a particularly talented young man who is the right dosage

Stephanie Struijk
Stephanie Struijk has been traveling past Dutch and Flemish theaters for almost twenty years as a musician. First as Stevie Ann - when she still sang in English - and now for a number of years under her own name

her new album is called "The same Sun". She recorded it in one go. As they did in the 1930s;The good recording, do not cut and paste afterwards.

The stories and her voice are central. The songs could be excerpts from her diary. Honest and recognizable, she sings about love and having to let go of it. And about being strong and choosing yourself. Small songs about big feelings.

Just like her first Dutch -language album from 2016, "The same Sun" is a collection of songs in the Roots/Americana genre. She wrote a large part of the music and lyrics together with Daniël Lohues, who also produced the album.
