Edo Sparks (Ita)
Edoardo Esposito - stage name Edo Sparks - is an italian artist, singer-songwriter. In 2010
he started sharing covers of successful italian and international songs on the web, becoming
one of the most influential and followed artists on YouTube Italy, with over 4m and 500k
views on his channel. Voice, acoustic guitar and a loop station, this is the set Edo uses for
his performances. He has a wide and varied sound that ranges from pop to beat, from brit to
rock, from blues to folk, from the Sixties to the Seventies to the new millennium and he does
that with his great personality and originality, all in an acoustic key.
A personal interpretation of covers, revisited for a live performance, supported by the strings
of the guitar and the harmonic box that replace the drum beat; loops of voices and sounds
create an overwhelming and exciting atmosphere that engages the audience in a
spontaneous interaction built up during the show.
A rich performance that goes from legends of soul music such as Nina Simone, to the beat
of Ben E. King, going through the U2 and the Green Day, with grafts of Puff Daddy
and Caparezza and so much more.

Thomas Geelens
Thomas Geelens feels passionate about playing guitar and singing pop music. He wants to portray life through his lyrics and music in a truthful way with a sense of hope. This refreshing positive view of music is welcome in our modern day. Interestingly, Thomas is from Maastricht, Netherlands but told us he plans to play his music and promote himself in the U.S.
His hometown, Maastricht, is a university town with a multicultural feel. The town is culturally and architecturally diverse from the beautiful old fortress to modern museums. Because it is close to both Belgium and Germany and has several universities and colleges, Maastricht has a large international and university age population. It also has a good, dynamic arts scene of music, performing arts, and visual arts to get involved with.
But it was Thomas’ 10 day visit to New York, USA, that inspired him to begin writing lyrics and singing more seriously. Since then he has been working to write and perform his own music. His inspiration in the music world is American singer-songwriter John Mayer because of his sound and authentic approach to music. He also likes Axl Rose of Guns N’Roses, Mark Knopfler, The Script, Don Henley of the Eagles, George Michael, and Colton Avery. Thomas is drawn to strong male vocals and soulful lyrics.
To date, Thomas has released several tracks, worked with up and coming producers and is working on his 2020 masterplan which includes releasing a new song every month!
