DOMINIQUE FRICOT AND CISEAUX SPRING TOUR 2012
Witness the magic this spring as Dominique Fricot and Ciseaux join forces to bring their intimate, incredibly moving and passionate live performances to communities across western Canada to share the gift of their music. Touring in support of their EP releases ‘If Baby Could Walk’ by Fricot and Ciseaux’s self titled EP, respectively), the pair will be hitting a variety of small, intimate venues hand-picked to heighten audience involvement and provide an emotive, one-of-a-kind experience that will leave the crowd wanting more.
Dominique Fricot is finally starting to hit his stride after toiling in the trenches of the Vancouver music scene for the past decade. With his commanding stage presence, unrivaled songwriting skill and ear for creating pure pop masterpieces, Dominique owns the stage with his rich baritone and his emotive fusion of rock, soul, folk and jazz. Don’t believe me? John Lucas of the Georgia Straight says: “Fricot’s plaintive vocals and knack for melody invite comparisons to Chris Martin and Adam Duritz”. Legendary local producer Jeff Dawson has called him ‘the new Neil Diamond’. Whatever you call him, the comparisons don’t do Dom justice. He’s a true original, a one of a kind talent, and a rapidly rising star. Don’t miss his unique blend of charm, stage domination, and relatable, heartfelt music.
As for Ciseaux? Ciseaux is the most recent endeavor of Victoria, BC artist Katie Schaan. Melodies swam around her head and danced out her rosebud lips before she was old enough to even know words to speak. That tiny girl lived three years of life before hitting the stage with a tiny cello, and there was no stopping her from music making after that. Ciseaux is inspired by everything from Bach’s Brandenburg concertos, to soulful melodies of the 60’s, to the imaginative indie persuasions of her peers. This is a project evolved from classical training, a love of pop music and an unwillingness to be limited by genre. Ciseaux’s debut EP, produced by the illustrious Aidan Knight, will melt your heart and make you want to dance all at the same time.
These two incredible talents have never combined forces before and will be performing a number of songs collaboratively as well as their individual sets, ensuring that no two shows are the same. See them now and ensure that when they’re selling out theatres and arenas in a few years, you can say ‘you knew them when…’.
