JESSICA FICHOT: French Chanson / Multilingual Folk
November 4, 2011 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$12 – $15
L.A.-based chanteuse/songwriter Jessica Fichot is a lot like her hometown of Paris: French at heart, but with a soul that’s truly international. Drawing from her multi-ethnic French / Chinese / American upbringing, her music fuses styles and languages, taking the listener on a twisting journey out of the French chanson tradition, into the lands of gypsy jazz, Chinese and Latin American folk music, and into the wilderness of her imagination.
Following the acclaimed release of her debut album “Le Chemin”, she has performed packed venues in China, France, Mexico, Canada and across the U.S. Now armed with her new EP “Le Secret”, she will return to San Francisco backed by her fiery band, and armed with her accordion, toy piano, multilingual vocals and a new array of percussion instruments.
Robby Marshall: clarinet, sax, flute
Michael Papillo: double bass
Antoine Salem: guitar
Jessica Fichot: vocals, accordion, toy piano
