Clark Productions' first show at WanderLust Road, located at 146 West First Street, downtown Salida. 719.539.0420 Concert at 7:00 following a 6:00 Pot Luck. Chanteuse and songwriter Jessica Fichot is a lot like her hometown of Paris: French at heart, but with a soul that’s truly international. Her multi-ethnic French / Chinese / American upbringing colors the songs on her debut album. It’s called Le Chemin, “The Path,” and for good reason: Jessica takes the listener on a twisting journey out of the French chanson tradition, into the lands of gypsy jazz, Chinese and Latin American folk music, through the classic American repertoire, and off into the wilderness of her imagination. A youth spent playing music in Parisian coffeehouses and concert halls led her first to graduate from the School of Audio Engineering in Paris and then from Berklee College of Music in Boston. Her music features sophisticated writing and pure, beautiful vocals - sung mostly in French and English, along with some Chinese and Spanish - as well as her piano and accordion playing. Each of her songs produce a mood, and ambience...sometimes intimate, sometimes epic. Her music can combine energetic Django-esque swing with the kind of sardonic lyrics that were the stock in trade of legendary singers like Serge Gainsbourg and Georges Brassens. Her singing and instrumentation convey inventive and dreamy arrangements, musette dance hall and sparkle, playful and sexy linguistics, all backed by an amazing quartet of clarinet, upright bass, and guitar. Suggest $8-10
