Blues performed by a singer from the land of chanson? It works wonderfully with Véronique Gayot. Her unique voice exudes so much passion and raw energy that she has a loyal fan base not only in France but increasingly all over Europe.

Smooth yet gritty and somehow hardly containable – that’s how it sounds when Véronique Gayot sings the blues. In addition to the obligatory comparisons with Janis Joplin, the name Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin often comes up as a reference. That may be true. In fact, Véronique Gayot has much more to offer. “Here, soul, skill, and passion come together to celebrate the blues, which can also come off a bit soulful,” wrote a reviewer about the debut album Wild Cat released in 2018. The follow-up work Animal, released in 2021, seamlessly continued this and expanded Véronique Gayot's spectrum towards Classic Rock and Gospel.
While original compositions predominantly set the tone on the albums, the live program also occasionally includes cover versions such as “Gimme Shelter,” “Sixteen Tons,” or “Personal Jesus,” which the Frenchwoman and her band always give a solid rock refresh.

The musical companions include Yannick Eichert on guitar, Jérome Wolf on bass, and Jérome Spieldenner on drums. Even though the three mostly operate in the background, they don’t need to hide. Each one of them is a recognized master of his instrument. Guitarist Yannick Eichert, in particular, provides samples of this, regularly getting the chance to celebrate his virtuoso skills in interplay with Véronique Gayot's energetic and powerful voice.

Weiler Bluesnächte
The Weiler Bluesnächte have a long tradition. Originally, the cultural office of the tri-city area brought international top stars of the jazz scene to the vaulted cellar of the Old Town Hall in Altweil for 25 years, together with jazz expert Dieter Brunow from Haltingen. Later, the group “Exbluesive” led by blues expert Klaus Deuss was won as a partner for this sought-after music series. After the pandemic, the cultural office continued the series with the “Jazz and Blues Südbaden - exbluesive e. V.” The association consists of blues-loving music enthusiasts from the southern Baden region and regularly invites blues and rock concerts with national and international top bands.
