Een man met donker krullend haar, een korte baard en tatoeages op zijn armen leunt met gekruiste benen tegen een stenen muur en bespeelt een rood-zwarte elektrische gitaar, terwijl hij naar zijn handen kijkt.

Live@Dox: Bruno Balbi

Live music every Friday night

    Music

If you haven’t heard of Bruno Balbi yet, now is the perfect time to get to know him. Originally from Brazil, this guitarist, singer, and songwriter lives in the Netherlands and blends rock, blues, and country into a raw, melodic, and heartfelt sound. His music invites you to feel, to pause, and to be fully present in the moment. And when he performs live, that invitation is impossible to ignore.

On stage, Bruno manages to combine intensity and vulnerability in a unique way. Every note carries meaning, and every lyric touches the heart. The result is a performance that feels intimate even in large venues. Less spectacle, more connection.

2025 was a particularly productive year for Bruno. In just one year, he released a new EP, a short film was released that brings his musical world to life visually, and he recorded a live performance at one of Brazil’s biggest festivals. This recording will soon be released as a live album. Through these projects, Bruno demonstrates that he continues to evolve as an artist who thinks beyond individual songs and tells complete musical stories.

He will continue this evolution in 2026 as well. In addition to new singles and collaborations with Dutch artists, Bruno will release a brand-new album and go on tour throughout the Netherlands. He’ll bring his most ambitious work to date to the stage.

Bruno Balbi has already collaborated with renowned artists from Brazil and Europe, but it is his solo career in particular that defines him: honest, passionate, and uncompromising. Don’t miss the chance to see him live. This is an artist who is constantly evolving and whose story has only just begun.
