Mathieu Boogaerts

On April 11, 2026, Mathieu Boogaerts takes the stage at the Quai des Arts in Pornichet. A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, he has carved out a personal path since the 1990s between minimalist chanson and fluid pop. From his first album Ondulé to his more recent tracks, he has cultivated the art of restraint: a few chords, a pulsing drum machine, words that glide without effort.

On stage, Boogaerts plays up close, guitar held close to his body, with a supple groove and a composed vocal delivery. He favors compact melodies, choruses that return by surprise, and silences that shift the listener’s attention. His songwriting addresses everyday life, sudden impulses and doubts, with discreet humor and an unadorned poetry.

You can expect to hear Ondulé, Je sais, and well-known songs mixed with new material. Between asides and light rhythms, he creates a clear atmosphere where every motif counts. No excess, just the essentials of the song, in direct contact with the audience, for a simple, precise moment.
