As frontman of the stoner band Wallace Vanborn, this singer-songwriter from Gent knows a thing or two about loud guitars, amps and how to put them together, but when he feels like playing his six-string a little more gently, he performs under his own name. Ian Clement made his debut as a solo artist this year with Drawing Daggers, a record full of bluesy, intimate songs with lyrics that seem like short stories set to music. His influences include Mark Lanegan, Dan Auerbach and Edward Sharpe. His record was critically acclaimed and an extensive European tour followed, including a handful dates as support for the Dutch band, De Staat.
