Cambridge based artist Archduke mixes devastating rock n’ roll with sultry vocals and splitting falsetto. His tightly written pop songs and energetic live show combine to bring you an evening that is jam packed full of entertainment.

In 2019 Archduke secured himself a place as a semi-finalist in the Northcote Records Common People competition in which Charlie Fink (Noah and the Whale) was one of the judges.

He has supported upcoming artists such as Sports Team, The Dunwells and Wild Front, as well as established acts like Mark Chadwick of The Levellers in venues like The Railway in Winchester, The Horn in St Albans, and The Fighting Cocks in Kingston.

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!
