   About DOUGLAS FIRS
STUDIO BRUSSEL: "... met een authentieke stem en bakken sfeer. Het is niet 
iedereen gegeven om dit soort muziek op een geloofwaardige manier te brengen, 
maar Gertjan slaagt daar schijnbaar moeiteloos in. Klasse!"


RADIO 1: "... Was Ryan Adams een Vlaming geweest, dan heette hij Douglas Firs."




Cooper: “Sheriff, what kind of fantastic trees have you got around here? Big, majestic…”
Truman: “Douglas firs.”
Cooper: “Douglas firs…”
(Twin Peaks)

Douglas Firs is Gertjan Van Hellemont (°1987), zanger, gitarist en liedjesschrijver met 
een voorliefde voor de popmelodieën van The Beatles, singer-songwiters als James Taylor 
en Ryan Adams, de country-blues van North Mississippi Allstars en de Back to the 
Future-trilogie. Al is dat iets anders.

Maar Douglas Firs is ook Gertjans rock-‘n-rollband met Christophe Claeys (drums, 
percussie, zang), Sem Van Hellemont (toetsen, zang) en Simon Casier (bas, zang). 
Douglas Firs rockt op de old school-manier. “Big, majestic…”
