Critic’s choice: Catch a cool Francis Cabrel concert
Our upcoming Summer Issue, publishing on June 9, will feature a preview of chill concerts for a hot summer. The offerings span from Missy Elliott to Les Mis, Blake Shelton to Chelsea Handler, and JT to JLo – all only in air-conditioned venues.
One artist who didn’t make the list — and only because his concert happens the day before the issue comes out — is French singer-songwriter Francis Cabrel. Of a style that might be described as the French equivalent of Americana, his artistry transcends language barriers.
That he released an album of translated Bob Dylan covers, Vise le Ciel (Aim for the Sky), should tell you all you need to know. Especially for Francophiles and lovers of popular music par excellence, his first-ever appearance June 8 at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami is not to be missed.
Look for the Summer Issue of City & Shore magazine, in print, digital and online. on June 9.
