Gauvain Sers

On October 10, 2026, Gauvain Sers will be at the Colisée in Lens. A singer-songwriter born in 1989, first noticed as an opening act for Renaud, he made his mark with Pourvu in 2017. Les oubliés in 2019 and Ta place dans ce monde in 2021 confirmed a songwriting attentive to quiet lives, rural landscapes, shuttered schools and the concerns of a generation. Heir to the lyric-driven chanson, he mixes social chronicles and intimate confidences, portraits of those close to him and road journals, all expressed in a clear, precise language.

On stage, Gauvain Sers goes straight to the essentials: guitar, clean melodies, direct phrasing. His songs recount everyday life and its turning points, from childhood memories to today’s trajectories, in both town and country. In Lens he brings together these narratives woven across his records and tours, in an intimacy that gives full space to the words. It’s an occasion to hear a writer who observes his era at human scale, balancing restrained emotion with clear-eyed insight.
