Biography

For over 35 years Eric VINCENT, considered in many countries today as one of the best representatives of French song, has been making a good living by singing every year to thousands of people all around the globe. In the United States alone, his tour of some 30 concerts every fall draws an audience of over 20,000 people.
This singer-songwriter has had an exceptional and singular career. He has appeared in over 140 countries where he returns regularly, singing entirely in French for audiences which are, on the whole, not French-speaking. He speaks several languages and is able to communicate with his audiences in their own language.
One day, he headlines the program at the Hanoi Opera or the Manaus Opera in Brazil,on another he’s in front of 3,000 people at Ancol in Jakarta or, again, a crowd of several thousand fans who sang along with his refrains on the Place Toussaint-Louverture in Jacmel, Haiti, just a few weeks before the terrible earthquake there.
Eric VINCENT is nourished by these multicolored successes. His songs are published in the U.S. in French textbooks used in high schools and colleges. The French publisher, Didier/Hachette, picked up the idea and published “Si on chantait avec Eric Vincent”, which has made its way around the world.
VINCENT alternates his peregrinations with stays in France which he enjoys spending either in the province where he was born, La Mayenne, or on his barge docked right in the heart of Paris, at the Port de l’Arsenal at the Bastille.
Ten songs, outside of norms and fashions, which confirm the remarkable qualities of the singer as an author and composer. After having conceived the arrangements and taking charge of the acoustic guitars, he gathered around him his faithful musician friends who, impressed to a man by his compositions, dove into the project with passion:
the American soprano saxophonist, Billy DREWES (Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Randy BRECKER…), Sylvin MARC, Tony RABESON, Pierre CHÉRÈZE, Christophe GUIOT, Jean-Philippe AUDIN, Roland ROMANELLI, Jérôme GUÉGUEN, Manu LACORDAIRE… each bringing, in addition to his talent, an energy that gives the album a really exceptional atmosphere.
The alchemy took place with his ‘old’ partner and friend, Vincent BRULEY at the Piccolo Studio.
