Upcoming folksy concerts in Paris

January 11, 2016 10:35 AM

I'm looking for some concert recommendations in Paris in February or March in the singer-songerwriter/folksy vein. Guitars, good melodies, good lyrics (English preferred). Josh Ritter is a good example. Are there any shows on Songkick (or other aggregators I'm not aware of) that you would recommend? Or maybe your favorite band is passing through on tour? Thanks!

Best answer: One way to do it, if you're quite familiar with the kind of artists you like is just to check out the venues that might have that kind of thing on in Paris. There aren't too many, really.

I'd go with Point Ephemere, La Maroq, Cafe de la Danse, Trabendo for starters. All Feb and March shows will already be announced.

For a specific gig/artist recommendations, you might like Alberta Cross who're playing Le Pop-Up du Label on Feb 3rd. Or Daniel Norgren plays the same venue a week later. They're both swedish but sing in english.

Response by poster: Sometimes all you need is one really good answer. Alberta Cross sounds great and I found some other good stuff through the venue schedules. Thanks!
