Douglas Firs is Gertjan Van Hellemont (°1987), singer, guitar player and songwriter who likes to listen to the pop tunes of The Beatles, singer-songwriters like James Taylor or Ryan Adams, and the country-blues of North Mississippi Allstars. He also likes the Back to the Future-trilogy. And eating fruit.

But Douglas Firs is also Gertjan’s rock ’n roll band, with Christophe Claeys on drums, percussion and vocals, Sem Van Hellemont on keys and vocals and Simon Casier, who’s playing bass and singing also. Douglas Firs rocks in the old school way. “Big, majestic…”

Douglas Firs played support acts for musicians like Roland, Elliott Murphy, Tim Easton, De Mens, Anton Walgrave (Het Depot), Balthazar (N9) and in May 2009, Milow asked him to play support in clubs AB, Roma en Vooruit.

They’re working on their debut album.
