Buckle Up Burnd is the country alter ego of Belgian musician Bernd Coene. As a kid, he was immersed in the world of cowboys through his father’s love of westerns, country records, and rodeo culture — a passion that resurfaced years later. This time, not from behind the drums, but front and center, guitar in hand and stories to tell. Together with his band, Buckle Up Burnd pays an honest tribute to the timeless country classics of the golden ’40s and ’50s. An evening with Buckle Up Burnd is a rollicking ride through the heart of country tradition, where the air is thick with dust, whiskey, and dancing boots. Appearing with veteran sidemen -  guitarist Matt Jackson and double bassist Matt Armstrong
