Airboxes are Bert Leemans (chromatic accordion) and Guus Herremans (diatonic accordion) have been friends for over a decade, sharing an inexhaustible passion for music. As seasoned musicians, they have built an impressive repertoire together, ranging from captivating dance tunes to intimate listening pieces.
Their joint musical journey began shortly after they met, and they quickly gained attention with their new band, both at home and abroad. Serving as driving forces behind projects like Les Bottines Artistiques, EmBRUN, Triple-X & Phlox, they had already gained considerable experience in the international circuit. With Airboxes, their musical journey led them to some of Europe’s most prestigious festivals, including Entrudanças in Portugal, Dranouter Festival & Boombalfestival in Belgium, CaDansa in the Netherlands… to name a few. In 2017, Bert and Guus officially joined forces form Airboxes, a musical project celebrating their deep love for the accordion and pushing the boundaries of traditional accordion music.
With their new, second album “Confluence” Bert and Guus are reaching new heights. Enriched by the addition of bandoneon, piano, and accordina, this album reflects the duo’s ongoing evolution an creativity. Airboxes takes the audience on a continuous musical exploration, where the magic of acoustic instruments and the boundless creativity of Bert and Guus come together for an unforgettable listening experience.
