Ryan Bingham - A Texan In Paris


As I told you lately, I discovered one of the oldest Irish pubs in Paris, maybe the oldest one, the Connolly's Corner. Every Sunday evening you got live music there, for free, mainly Irish traditional one but sometimes they invite country and western artists. For example, on December 30, they welcome a young Texan musician call Ryan Bingham.
Who is Ryan Bingham? Honestly, it was the first time that I heard his name when Hervé from
Acoustic In Paris encouraged me to go and see him. Bingham is a young Texan, a real one with a hat, a cowboy shirt and boots. It seems that he arrived in Paris straight from Brokeback Mountain… Musically, he has nothing really new to offer but I must admit that I enjoyed what I heard. More than one hour of pure alt-country. Ryan Bingham is a singer-songwriter with a whisky voice; his latest album, Mescalito, just came out last year in November. You can make your own opinion in visiting his MySpace, and, if he is around your town, you must reserve your evening to see him.

For those who were there, at the connolly's corner, i was the man just on the side, mixing the sound. I also recorded the evening show, and i mixed it, and if you want to hear some of the songs from that night, go to www.myspace.fr/fdsoundinc .
Thanu, même si tu n'as pas pu être là, tu peux écouter ses chansons sur www.myspace.fr/fdsoundinc .Je les ai enregistrées ce soir là, et je viens de finir le mixage.
N'hésite pas à laisser tes impressions.
