Louise Blackwell started as an actor in shows including the 1986 Adelaide Festival's THE SMALL POPPIES and film DAD AND DAVE: ON OUR SELECTION. She later followed a more musical path joining Irish vocal band FRIENDS and RELATIONS. She lived in Paris and studied jazz vocal with singers Sara Lazarus and Michèle Hendricks, and then sang in the Paris Jazz scene with many great musicians and recorded three CDs with Vincent Bourgeyx on piano.
In Adelaide she has sung with the Bruce Hancock trio and is now performing a great French repertoire with prolific and talented band The French Set including pianist Mark Ferguson and violinist Julian Ferraretto, both composers for the ASO Grainger Series Concerts, legendary John Aué on double bass, and back from Lyon in France, Josh Baldwin on drums!
A NIGHT IN PARIS
Local singer with a very authentic French touch, Louise Blackwell, and band The French Set, are some of Adelaide's finest jazz musicians, including Mark Ferguson on keys, Julian Ferraretto on violin, John Aué on bass and Joshua Baldwin on drums.
After sell out Fringe seasons and ★★★★ reviews with Take Me Back to Paris and A Night in Paris I & II, expect to be taken on a rollicking and romantic journey into the world of French jazz and popular music, celebrating early singers like Fréhel, Lucienne Boyer and Piaf, to folk and pop artists such as Georges Brassens, Jacques Brel, Léo Ferré, Boris Vian, Barbara and Serge Gainsbourg.
This show will add a lovely and delightful French touch to your 2018 Adelaide Fringe experience!
