Tess Merlot
Haarlem Vinyl Festival
C’était un miracle! T’ess fait pour ca.
The first time Tess heard Merlot Jacques Brel, lightning struck. Since then, the music has not stopped: she formed the band Tess et les Moutons and hundreds of shows later, each performance still revolves around the essence: bringing the human soul to the surface as only the French chanson can. With originals by Brel, Piaf, and Aznavour and her own work.
Since her debut album Laissez-moi in 2021, Tess Merlot has become the chansonnière of the Low Countries. She toured with her band throughout the country and performed in November 2023 with the Residentie Orchestra in a sold-out PAARD in The Hague. In addition, she creates podcasts and radio programs about French music and is regularly invited on national TV and radio to share her love for chanson. The year 2023 took her across borders, leading her to discover a new audience in France, Germany, and Belgium, and she sold out the famous Ellington Jazz Club in Perth, Australia.
Whether Tess performs in a small ensemble, with her full band, or with a whole orchestra, she does so with an irresistible joie de vivre and limitless energy.
