HCM// Freschard at Elmer's Arms

A gig on Monday 29th April. The event starts at 20:00.


Freschard grew up in a farm in French Burgundy. Aged 18 she moved to Paris, where she baked pies and cakes in a cafe. There, a local musician and regular customer called Stanley Brinks wrote a few songs for her to sing. Homeless in Paris, she saved up just enough money to get herself a ticket to New York. There she found an old electric guitar and started writing her own songs. In 2004 she moved to Berlin, where she recorded her first LP, "Alien Duck". Her second album, "Click Click", recorded in 2006, features electric guitar by Stanley Brinks. On her third album, she plays the drums herself. On her fourth “Shh...” she also plays the flute. On 2013's “Boom Biddy Boom” she plays the washboard, and on 2016's Sunday Night she plays the zafzafa.

She also makes dusty and beautiful records with Stanley Brinks (aka Andre/ Herman Dune) and they make occasional calypso music as Kreutzberg Museum. For this special show Freschard will play her songs of vivid friendship, love, sadness and drink with Stanley on lead guitar.

We're very excited to be presenting this show in Bristol - please join us. It's going to be a magical night.
