Keren Ann

On May 19, 2026, Keren Ann takes the stage at La Bouche d’Air – Salle Paul Fort in Nantes for a concert refocused on the essentials: the writing, the voice, the melody. A French-Israeli singer-songwriter, she has carved a clear line between folk and chamber pop from the start, in both French and English. She is known as much for her own songs as for works written for others, from Henri Salvador to various projects for film and visual media. On stage she favors a pared-down approach, with guitar and keyboards at the forefront and subtle textures that let the words breathe and allow nuances to surface.

The repertoire draws on her entire catalogue, from La Biographie de Luka Philipsen and Nolita to 101, You’re Gonna Get Love and Bleue, with recent songs resonating alongside them. She switches between languages with a gentle phrasing, clear melodic lines and arrangements that explore variation rather than drama. The mood remains intimate and attentive, suited to close listening where every detail finds its place. It’s an opportunity to hear patient songwriting that moves forward without unnecessary effects and allows the songs the time to settle.
