J. Aubertin

"Contrary to fashion, far from excessive decibels and excessive ego, J.Aubertin installs an atmosphere dominated by melancholy. He sings the experiences that mark the heart and soul. Folksinger / Songwriter, he is inspired by models of American folk music such as Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, John Prine, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, but especially his idol: The Tallest Man On Earth. Without superfluous, Nothing but the essential. A tessitura first, of a "dramatico-sensual" gravity, striking of contrast with the gracility of the character. A guitar serving simple melodies, but with just enough to see the streets of Nashville, the steppes of Central Asia and other images of Epinal as soon as you close your eyes. The great escape, then, with that poignant little something that grips your chest, the heart stops and races at the same time."
