While Bettens’ music has always carried a hint of Americana, this solo project feels like a true homecoming. After years in Belgium and a fifteen-year period in East Tennessee, where he even worked full-time as a firefighter, Bettens now presents a Country/Americana album infused with lived experiences and genuine authenticity. Recorded in Nashville and produced by four-time ACM Guitar Player of the Year Tom Bukovac, COMING HOME has a warm, analog sound that perfectly highlights his honest, heartfelt songwriting. Although Bettens remains a cornerstone of K’s Choice, this album reveals a side of him that has long lingered beneath the surface: a born storyteller with a voice that effortlessly takes you on a journey. In an intimate setting at GR8, tracks from this heartwarming album will bring you home in a figurative sense.
