aupinard

On 26 November 2026, Aupinard brings to The Lower Third a set shaped by bossa nova and modern pop/R&B. At 16, a chance encounter with João Gilberto’s Saudade Fez Um Samba set him on this path; lockdown turned his bedroom into a studio for his first demos. Since then, the Bordeaux singer-songwriter has moved from emerging stages and the Inouïs du Printemps de Bourges 2023 to bigger rooms, sharing a sound that blends lightness and melancholy.

On stage, his soft, shaded voice glides over clean, uncluttered productions, guitar figures and subtle rhythms. He writes in snapshots of everyday life, with discreet humour and a touch of modern nostalgia. The melodies sway between introspection and sunlit groove, letting the bossa pulse meet French pop contours. After early headline dates and a run that led to the Olympia in 2025, he arrives with a new show that sharpens this balance: intimate, image-led storytelling, warm tempos, and songs like C’est tout moi that reveal their hooks live. London gets a close-up on a style that keeps evolving without losing its clarity.
