Info for Live In Paris

Throughout his career, live performances have become essential in Fred Chapellier's discography. This "Live in Paris" is no exception. Recorded at the Jazz Club Etoile, one of the capital's renowned venues for roots music, and accompanied by an impeccable brass section, Fred Chapellier freely expresses his unique feeling. There is clearly a "Chapellier touch" that runs through the essence of this album!

Fred Chapellier, a French musician, discovered the guitar after three years of playing the drums, dedicating himself to the blues, his preferred genre. In the 1990s, he formed several bands before creating the "Fred Chapellier Blues Band," distinguished as the best blues revelation in 2004. His career is marked by collaborations and successes, notably with the album "A Tribute To Roy Buchanan" in 2007. In 2009, he recorded the album "Night Work" with Billy Price and joined Jacques Dutronc's tour in 2010. His work is praised both in France and in the United States, marking a rich and diverse musical career.

In 2007, Fred Chapellier drew the spotlight on his electric fretwork with a tribute to his late hero, six-string wizard Roy Buchanan. Fred’s CD was recorded under the direction of Jean-Alain Roussel, producer of one of Buchanan’s last albums (You’re Not Alone), with an ace outfit that included Roy’s fetish vocalist Billy Price as well as blues stalwarts Neal Black, Tom Principato and Gib Wharton.

Fred and Billy worked together steadily in the wake of this fruitful experience, with Billy touring France as part of Fred’s band, and Fred wooing Billy’s East Coast fans in the States. This collaboration led to a studio album recorded in Pitssburgh, Pennsylvania in June 2008, featuring soul great Otis Clay as well as Mark Wenner from the Nighthawks. A live set followed in 2009.

The first half of 2012 has been active for Fred, with a noted appearance at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in February, several tours with Tom Principato, and a live set with his old Texas cohort Neal Black featuring the harp of Nico Wayne Toussaint.

In the second half of 2012, Fred is back with a new album co-signed with Neal Black, with Gary Moore’s longstanding sideman Vic Martin on keyboard.

The live album Fred proposes today shows that the scene succeeds him as well as the studio and that nothing can stop him in his electrifying explorations into the worlds of blues, rock and soul.

This album contains no booklet.
