JESSICA FICHOT
May 10, 2012 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
French Chanson / Multilingual Folk
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
“Delightful” – LA Weekly

“Fichot melds childlike sweetness and grown-up savoir-faire” – Pasadena Weekly
“A blend of heartache and innocence” – Aspen Daily News
