Description

Revealed in 2020 with this new solo project, Charlotte Maquet, aka Aucklane, is definitely one of the most interesting new voices on the Belgian alternative and independent scene today. As soon as her first self-produced single Gamblers was released, Aucklane instantly attracted the interest of the national press, who saw in her the "next generation of Belgian rock" and made her one of the artists to watch very closely. Each of the five tracks on her debut EP Nightfall will find its place on the radio. A 5/5! This earned her the opportunity to share the stage with renowned artists such as Ozark Henry on TV and Charles and Typh Barrow on radio. As a singer-songwriter, arranger and performer, Aucklane is acclaimed for her multiple talents: her ethereal, raw voice, her intelligent songwriting, her catchy melodies... as much as for her polished, mysterious visual universe. But it's live, surrounded by her musicians - Sébastien Beaumont, Thibault Jungers and Gilles Vermeyen - that the artist displays the full extent of her abilities, proving herself to be a captivating frontwoman in such high-profile shows as the Francofolies de Spa, the Botanique (Brussels), opening for Status Quo at Hemmiksen's Casa Blanca Festival at the Reflektor (Liège)... as well as in Switzerland, France and Luxembourg. In 2024, the artist returns with some hard-hitting new singles, recorded alongside French producer Nicolas Quéré (Arctic Monkeys, Nick Cave and the Bad Seed, Timber Timbre...), heralding the release of a debut album in September 2024.
