Michelle Blades

On March 12, 2026, Michelle Blades arrives at Le Brise Glace in Annecy with her distinctive blend of off-kilter folk, lo-fi pop and slightly twisted rock. Born in Panama and having spent time in the United States and Mexico before settling in Europe, she brings to her songs a genuine sense of movement: vocals that sometimes rasp, a guitar that swings between muted softness and electric tension, and lyrics that observe everyday life without overdoing it.

On stage, Michelle Blades alternates between intimate numbers and tenser passages where the rhythms become more nervous and the arrangements denser. The set moves from discreet arpeggios to rougher swathes of guitar, with a tendency to break overly slick formats and let slightly wonky but catchy melodies run free. At Le Brise Glace she will be promoting her latest tracks, digging into past albums and trying out new material, in a format that remains raw and spontaneous, close to the audience and without unnecessary frills.
