Duo folk rock bordelais, Franck et Damien proposent une musique envoutante et entrainante, alliant la voix suave et chaleureuse de Franck, mariée à la guitare slide de Damien. Le tout rythmé au son de percussions chaudes et dynamiques. C’est incontestablement un voyage aux sonorités outre-atlantique que le duo vous offre lors de leurs concerts. Le public ne s’y trompe pas, et revient régulièrement écouter le groupe en live.

Franck & Damien, c’est avant tout une expérience live. Le duo ne joue jamais moins de deux heures, et dès les premières notes, les premières intonations, le voyage commence. Allant de reprises d’artistes tels que Ben Harper, John Mayer, The Rolling Stones, Dire Straits, George Ezra, et même Corona, et diluant également des compositions originales, le groupe vous emmène avec eux le temps d’un concert.
