ROCK & FOLK AUTHENTICITY
She, the sweet country-folk priestess debauched by Rock 'n' Roll, he, the flamboyant rocker who soothes himself to the sound of a 12-string guitar... Franck Carducci and Mary Reynaud, it's an encounter like few others in a lifetime. When these two start playing, when their voices harmonize and their guitars vibrate together, every heart around beat in unison. We approach and sit next to them, lulled by their stories and invaded by their obvious osmosis.
Mary was already a major figure in Bluegrass and Country in France when she joined Franck's 70s theatrical Rock band on backing vocals in 2014. At the same time, Franck regularly accompanied her in her Americana project, and will produce her first EP. They travel through European roads together to promote Franck's albums live, more than 300 concerts in a dozen countries. The albums, awards and tours follow one another, these stage beasts have found each other well.
For 10 years, they have proven that they know how to turn the crowds on with their extravagant and powerful Rock, but also that they are able to hold an audience with just 2 guitars, 2 voices and some percussions.
Here, we do not cheat with live music. No samples, no autotune, only two beautiful souls and the two bodies they inhabit. Together, they re-arrange their own compositions and give them a whole new dimension, refined and striking. The magic of acoustics offers a unique cocoon to rediscover these extraordinary artists.
It is fresh, sincere and authentic.
We think of Carole King and James Taylor of course, but also Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Simon & Garfunkel...
