Back by popular demand
French Canadian chanteuse Danielle Hebert returns to Coffee Gallery
By John Sollenberger 10/07/2010
Back by popular demand Saturday night at Coffee Gallery Backstage is award-winning French Canadian singer/songwriter/guitarist Danielle Hebert, fresh from recording her latest disc in Nashville.
Hebert, who sings in French and English, was exposed to a wide range of music growing up in a musical household in Quebec, where she pulled from diverse influences like Beethoven, Miles Davis, Gino Vanelli, the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix.
A listen to some of her songs, like “Dites Moi” and “Zee,” off her 2004 release, “Aventurière Accidentelle,” reveal breezy, percussion-enhanced romps, while “Tourne,” from the same disc, is an introspective, gentle ballad.
Expert musicianship driven by that incredibly sweet voice proves that Hebert is at the top of her game.
Joining her Saturday night is percussionist Forrest Robinson and Bo Astrup. Duane Thorin and Soul Rustler open, and Thorin provides backup vocals for Hebert’s show.
Music starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena. Tickets are $15. Call (626) 794-2424. coffeegallery.com
