New York, NY — French singer-songwriter Francis Cabrel will embark on a four city American concert tour next June with performances at Los Angeles’s United Theater on Broadway (formerly Theatre at Ace Hotel) on Tuesday, June 4 at 8:00PM; Oakland’s Fox Theater on Thursday, June 6 at 8:00PM; Miami’s Ziff Ballet Opera House at the Adrienne Arsht Center on Saturday, June 8 at 8:00PM; and New York’s Town Hall on Wednesday, June 12 at 8:00PM. Tickets are $59.00, $79.00 and $99.00 (plus applicable fees).
Inspired by American folk artists like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and James Taylor, Cabrel’s songs are both popular and sophisticated. His singular repertoire is composed of numerous hits and has earned him 25 million records sold worldwide. His sensitive and poetic style illustrates his concerns as a man and citizen, as well as his attachment to his Southern French culture.
In 1974 his song "Petite Marie" inspired by his wife allowed him to win a radio talent contest and opened the doors to the CBS record company that released his first album Les Murs de Poussière in 1977. In 1979 his second album Les Chemins de Traverse including the hit "Je l'aime à mourir" was a resounding success. The year 1980 saw the release of the album Fragile and the triumph of “La Dame de Haute-Savoie” and “L’encre de tes yeux”. In 1989 his independently produced album Sarbacane was his first notable success, particularly thanks to the titles “Sarbacane” and “C’est écrit”. His 8th album Samedi soir sur la Terre released in 1994 sold more than 3 million copies, his greatest success and one of the best-selling in France, including the now classics titles "La corrida", "La cabane du pêcheur", "Je t’aimais, je t’aime, je t’aimerai", and "Octobre."
Francis Cabrel is a fundamental French artist, combining commercial success, humility and artistic demand, he has remained true to his musical and personal convictions. This authentic artist and his repertoire captivate French and French-speaking audiences around the world.
