Singer-songwriter and guitarist Johan Asherton (born Paris 1958) was the founding member of The Froggies (1983-1986) and The Liquid Gang (1986-1987). He went on to pursue a solo career in the beautifully haunted tradition of Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen, releasing over twenty albums and compilations, touring Europe and beyond. His 2015 project, Johan Asherton's Diamonds, took him back to his "Lou Reed-meets-The Rolling Stones" rock'n'roll roots with a new, eponymous album. His 1988 debut album "God's Clown" was reissued in 2017 in a remastered, expanded edition. Johan Asherton's latest album "Passiontide" was released in May 2020.

Jack Art is a seasoned, Paris-based musician who long ago started a music career that didn’t pan out the way he had hoped. Tired of waiting around for his break, he locked away his artistic dream in a drawer. But can you really be warm when the fire inside is going out? 

Four years ago, Jack Art resurrected his dream, leaving the security of his old life far behind him, and at the risk of losing everything. Everything, that is, except his identity. Against all the odds, in 2017 he put out the album The Life and Times of Candy Rose. An engaging concept album through which all of his talents as a songwriter, musician and storyteller burst into the ears of anyone lucky enough to hear it.

He could have left it at that and continued in that same electric, electrifying vein, but the allure of change, of defiance, made itself heard one more time. In March 2020, he‘s releasing his first solo album: the intimate and very personal The Outsider. Ten mind-blowing tracks, stripped down to their pure essentials, The Outsider is a singer-songwriter album, but with the hard-hitting sound of his classic rock roots, drawing on a maturity of language and lyrical depth reminiscent of the acoustic albums from a certain boss from New Jersey.

Jack Art is an outsider. A true outsider. The kind you don’t expect to find anymore, who at a time not so long ago wouldn’t have bet on himself either. But even the outsiders, those first-cousins of the beautiful losers, end up hitting the jackpot sometimes: Even the losers get lucky sometimes… (Tom Petty).

THE SANDMAN’S ORCHESTRA is a duo made up of Pierre Laplace, a singer/songwriter from Lille, France, and his young niece, Léonie Gabriel.

The story of the duo started in May 2010 when, after a family lunch, 15-year-old Léonie picked up a guitar and started singing a few covers. Everybody was astounded by the beauty of her voice, and her uncle Pierre Laplace immediately proposed that they work on some songs together. 

Pierre was the singer in cult French band Vera Clouzot, who from 1994 to 2004 released 4 albums, played numerous concerts including support slots with Jeff Buckley and Smog, and appeared on the American Music Club tribute album « Come On Beautfiul » alongside Lambchop, Calexico and Matt Ward.

Before finding out that his niece had a voice beyond her years, Pierre had been setting up a home-studio and learning a number of new instruments. The timing was right to start a new musical journey. 

Since they started working together the duo have developed a warm, atmospheric folk sound with touches of minimal dark jazz and electronica. The combination of male and female vocals and the blend of acoustic instruments (guitar, banjo, wurlitzer, piano, cello, drums) define the duo’s sound.

The duo released their 1st album « Silver Linings » in June 2011 ; « Nocturne », their new 10-track LP was released worldwide (CD and download) on March 25th 2013 through Bandcamp, CDbaby, Itunes and Amazon.

"Crying For The Moon", the duo's 3rd album, was released in November 2014

Chris Chester Group
GENRE: Pop, Mod Beat, Blues, Psychedelic

The original music of the Chris Chester Group is a “ pop - rythm’n’ blues - sixties beat “ very inspired by the pop music, the psychedelism, the Indian music and the vintage blues in the style of the music of “Swinging London”. The scenic and clothes dressing are also very important.

“Chris Chester Group presents:Bubble Man Superstar!!! Likes (effectively) of the princely joke as much as the hidden treasure“...
