Programme
The 5 of July by The Swing Cane. La Canne à Swing is above all four musicians from Tours: Kevin Goubern (lead guitar), Laurent Blet (rhythm guitar), Alexandre Voisin (double bass) and Éric Duverger (percussion), passionate about swing.
For this evening they will be in a trio: two guitars and a double bass.
After revisiting the repertoire of Django Reinhardt and more generally the gypsy jazz repertoire, for which these musicians have great admiration, it is now through the compositions and the choice of covers that a new musical orientation drives them.
La Canne à swing is not only a musical sharing, but also a friendly exchange of good humor with the public.
