Gauvain Sers

Gauvain Sers will set down his suitcases in Digne-les-Bains on March 12, 2027, at the Palais des Congrès - Gérard Gastinel. With Monter à Paris, he continues the thread between Paris and the Creuse, where his pen naturally moves between the intimate and the political, childhood and the wider world. The spirit of Boulevard de l’enfance is present: a repertoire that crosses memories, everyday stories and the small jolts of an era, without slogans or gimmicks, just words that stick to life.

An heir to the French chanson à texte, noticed as an opening act for Renaud, Gauvain Sers established his voice with Pourvu, then Les oubliés, an attentive chronicle of understated territories, before digging into the personal and social vein on Ta place dans ce monde. On stage, his stories take their time, between portraits of close ones, instantly catchy choruses and wry humour. Monter à Paris can be heard like a travel journal where tenderness and quiet indignation, confidences and observations of the times intersect. An evening to rediscover the mixture of simplicity and accuracy that makes his songs singular, in an intimate, direct format, without artifice.
