Author
Luc is born in Brussels, Belgium and lives with his wife Jackie part time in Natchez, Mississippi and part time in Erembodegem, Belgium. He travelled to the Delta for the first time in 2011 to write a book about its culture. He sat in dusty bars, beautiful antebellum homes, music studios and on porches. He talked to juke joints owners, musicians, chefs of the southern cuisine, curators of museums and many others. Since 2011, Luc has visited the Delta more than 20 times and has written or co-written four books about the culture of the Mississippi Delta and the origin of the blues:
- Catfish & Cotton – Drivin' Down The Blues Highway
- A People – Reflections On The Deep South
- Highway 61

Breaking News - THE NEW BOOK IS FINALLY AVAILABLE
When Patterns Are Broken, New Worlds Emerge
When Patterns Are Broken, New Worlds Emerge is the latest, brand new book of Luc! The book traces the most important events in history from before 1830 to 1965 and links them to the musical innovations within the African American community. It explores the direct connection between bad conditions in which the black population had to survive, and the emergence of so many new forms of music. Black people's search for a better life, their willingness to integrate into American society as free citizens, without giving up their own African culture, seemed to be the main drivers of the emergence of new music. This correlation is the focus of this book.
