SonoMusette authentically recreates the moody and evocative sound of the Paris music scene of the mid-twentieth century.SonoMusette’s renditions of these timeless French classics provide a freshness and excitement that is contemporary, yet faithful, to the spirit and tradition of the original artisits. This music has retained its power to charm and transport listeners and SonoMusette taps that nostalgia with artistry in both vocals and instrumentation. Inspired by the great performers of the era, such as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, and Django Reinhardt, along with contemporary musicians such as Zaz and Patrick Bruel, SonoMusette brings French Chanson to the “moderne” era.
The band features Parisian singer Mimi Pirard. Beginning her musical career with Atelier Chanson in Paris, Mimi is a past recipient of The North Bay Music Awards, “Best World Music Band." Accordionist Robert Lunceford was nominated for “Best Musical Direction” by Bay Area Theater Critics Circle for the 2014 production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. Bass player and pianist Jan Martinelli has been recording and touring with Holly Near since 2012 as well as being a member of the Bay Area’s legendary group Wild Mango. Isaac Vandeveer, an Oakland native, holds a degree in guitar performance and is well versed in a wide variety of musical styles. Rounding out the group is Kendrick Freeman, one of the most sought out percussionists in the Bay Area. Kendrick is on staff at Sonoma State University’s jazz department.
