KILL GALLON

KILL GALLON est né de la passion nourrie par Victoria Kilgallon et Nico Gigant pour la vieille musique américaine : blues, folk, gospel, jazz New Orleans...
Fin 2012, ils sont rejoints par Stan Blaineau à la basse/contrebasse, Docteur Vince à l'harmonica et Julien Delooz aux percussions. Ils enregistrent leur premier CD éponyme en décembre 2013.
En mai 2014, la formation évolue en quartet : Stan Blaineau passe du poste de
contrebassiste à celui de « washboardiste ».
Un an plus tard, avec déjà une cinquantaine de concerts au compteur, le groupe est recruté pour jouer en première partie de Yannick Noah au festival Atout Cœurs de Benquet.
Durant l'été 2015, KILL GALLON est à l'affiche de plusieurs festivals tels que Ça Jazz à Brides de Brides-les-Bains, 5 à 7 de Montmerle, Arts et Vigne de Châtillon-en-Diois, mais aussi sur la scène de la place des Terreaux à Lyon pour la Fête de la Musique.
Le groupe est entré en phase de composition et prépare un nouvel album mélangeant
adaptations de standards et compositions originales.

CALIPSA

Calipsa is a singer-violinist with a pop-Celtic universe tinged with an electro touch.
Author-composer, she creates a personal and original universe in which pop and Celtic music mingle. A multi-faceted artist, she notably performs on stages of
festival where she sings, plays the violin and the tin whistle, accompanied by talented
musicians. She released her first album on December 10, 2021.

HAYEL

HayeL is Leyah backwards: the nickname his family gives him. It is part of her intimacy that she reveals, and this is how the music she makes sounds: intimate, and barely hidden behind a few metaphors. Influenced by Pomme, Joan Baez, or Michel Berger, the musical style she defends is that of words and French song, mixed with folk sounds. A melody filled with sweetness and lightness. A cocoon in which great joys mix with small dramas
of life, to form an intimate and comforting poetry.

HÔPES

At the pen of the group since 2016 (writing, composition, vocals and folk guitar), Fanny Morales is a self-taught singer and musician, and at the same time a professional artist in the field of visual arts. A childhood close to nature and made of travels, spent on the sailboat built by her parents, leaving France for the West Indies and South America. She will also live three years in Venezuela, in a family of artists, to complete studies in applied arts. A life of encounters, travels, discoveries of cultures, but also of the deep divisions that separate human beings; between city, tourism, hyper consumption, and the simple and artisanal life of certain populations (and a life on a boat), or even the extreme poverty with which one can be confronted in South America, these opposites have brought her , young, to question and be affected by social injustices, the destruction of the environment, and the nonsense of the quest for profits. Passionate and touched by music and poetry from a young age, Fanny began playing guitar and singing at the age of eighteen. The composition and the writing came as travel companions, in an intimate and modest way; The premature loss of her two parents in an accident when she was only twenty-five, pushed her to become more involved in music and writing, as a mode of resilience. A few years and pages of writing later, and after meeting several musicians with whom she collaborates, the "Hôpes" project was born. (EP "Premier Horizon" in 2016, and an album of seventeen tracks, "Les souvenirs du vent" in 2018 and the latest "Out of Shadows", in 2023).

PY - PIERRE-YVES BENA

A true folk pop ode in French, Py evolves with his voice and his guitar to take us
in walks around its 5 beautiful seasons. This new EP produced by Fred Lafage (Zaz.
Kendji...) a fruitful collaboration that propels with sound accompaniment
welcome to 70's sounds but terribly contemporary in their interpretations.
Py, assumes the vocal affiliation, of Christophe, of Michel Polnareff or even Bertrand Cantat,
Black Desire period.
