Each month, our neighbour Steven De Bruyn invites in ENTR a musical soulmate he wants to get to know or has met before (and wants to meet again) for a musical exchange.
Passionate musicians and songwriters from all corners of the world and washed up touring musicians on their day off. Just like the open kitchen of ENTR conjures the world to your tastebuds, you will be travelling with your eyes closed and your ears open. Let yourself be taken into tow on this grooving world trip!
