New: Thomas Dutronc - Demain


A new release by Thomas Dutronc, a musician who shows that it's possibles for musicians to work in the family business without having to retrace their parents' footsteps.

Thomas Dutronc is of course the son of Jacques Dutronc and Françoise Hardy, but he has forged his own career and enjoyed considerable success in his own right.

He released his first solo album at the age of 34, having studied manouche gypsy swing jazz guitar for years before collaborating with Corsican musicians Antoine Tatich and Jérôme Ciosimusicians in the AJT trio, establishing a reputation on the jazz scene, and working with Jacno, -M- and Françoise Hardy while also working as an actor.

His first solo album Comme Un Manouche Sans Guitar was released in 2007, from which came the hit J'aime plus Paris. In 2009 he won a Victoires de la Musique award for the original song of the year for the song Comme un Manouche Sans Guitare.

Since then he has released a live album, and contributed to the soundtrack of the film Adele Blanc-Sec and the Jacno tribute album Jacno Future.

The song Demain comes ahead of his new album "Silence on tourne, on tourne en rond" which comes out on October 3.
