Summary: Guillaume Maupin (Saintonge records/ Matamore) sings songs since a very early age. Of course, humour does belong to music, and traditonnal, orginals, covers, wicked, strange songs are all part of his shows. Working solo or with other artists (Eugene Chadbourne, Beck, Lonely Kid Quentin, Mihai Iordache, Dead Western, Arrington de Dionyso, Euphorium freakestra, Portron Bros...) sharing stages with very various acts (Jeffrey Lewis, The Ex, Old Time Relijun, The Fall, René Binamé, ..) and playing around the world (Siberia, USA, UK, Kenya, France, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Czech rep,...) he loves to provoke fruitful encounters. In his now celebrated Human Jukebox project, with his bands Music for Rabbits, Tartine de Clous, his conference/concerts, or through his Film Water Music, or solo, playing in houses, concert halls, bars,cinemas, he always take the audience for a fun multinlingual ride. "While many performers on the folk scene consider themselves lucky if they can be judged decent in one style and interpret a few songs exceptionally well, this talent is expansive, with challenging conclusions, the swords of skill rattling and clashing in an enjoyable duel. Guillaume is not best at singing in English, French, or German; at being funny or deadly serious; at vocalizing or simply playing haunting, fingerpicking instrumental passages -- he is simply great at all these things" Eugene Chadbourne Songwriters Guild Live is a weekly radioshow in Amsterdam, focussed on artists who write their own songs. This week your host was Ro Halfhide.
