Complete setlist above
Second show of the year 2010 for ROCKERPARIS and it's another Tv Show, this time for French-German tv Arte.
In front of 300 people, several artists are performing a couple of songs one after another, this time there is a House Band so the artists invited are all singers.
No stage as the audience is seating down around the musicians , so it' s a really cool setting.
There's always one or two boring artists but this time they were ALL absolutely great from Folk to Soul to Jazz...
They've made a special show with the House Band as the songs that were played were re-arranged specially for the show with a classical quartet and 4 guys on brass plus rythm section and guitar.
There's another recording tomorrow ( with Gush, Karima Francis, Beat assailant, Corinne Baley Rae.... ) and the day after, not sure if I'll be able to go.
We shall see...

- French singer Jehro is the first ( singing in english & Spanish ) a mix of Funk & Acoustic Spanish music , really cool songs and warm voice. Nice set
- Folk Irish beauty Lisa Hannigan is next ( she played a few years ago with Damien Rice and is now on her own ) she could easily play an Oliver Peel session. Great voice , great songs and really good looking too.
- English beauty Natalie Williams ( another sexy looking gal) is bewitching us with her soulfull voice & music.
- Another soul English artist with Andrew Roachford, on his own on the piano for the first song. It's obvious he listened to Stevie Wonder a lot in his youth ... and guess what ? He's doing a Stevie Wonder cover just after.
- Natalie Merchant ( former 10 000 Maniacs singer ) first song is very soft , second is New Orleans jazz and groovy.
- Then we have crooner Kurt Elling, it's obvious he listened to Frank Sinatra a lot.
- Encore is a Motown medley with Roachfoard doing a ... Stevie Wonder cover ( "uptight") while Natalie Merchant is dancing like a maniac backstage followed by Kurt Elling (another Stevie Wonder cover: " Golden Lady") & Natalie Williams ending the set.
