Thomas Dutronc had spoken about it several months ago without giving any great details. And then time had passed without anything happening. The news finally fell yesterday: the singer and guitarist will be on tour with his father in 2022 for a new show.
We know what the son owes to the father: a devastating charm, a biting humor and the taste of friends. No longer a very similar voice, both warm and deliberately ironic.
Thomas Dutronc is in a good phase of his career: his album “Frenchy”, made up of covers, has been a big success since its release in 2020. And, as soon as he could, the artist sang it a lot. months, particularly in jazz festivals like that of Marciac, last summer, and Comminges, at the end of October. We also saw it at the Halle aux grains, in Toulouse, in October 2020.
As for Jacques Dutronc, it took the tour of the Vieilles Canailles (where Thomas Dutronc played the role of the bartender) for him to come out of his Corsican semi-retirement. This notably gave a memorable concert with friends Eddy Mitchell and Johnny Hallyday in June 2017 at the Zénith in Toulouse. And we have to go back to January 2010 for a show with Dutronc solo in the same Zénith.
We can imagine in advance what the Dutronc & Dutronc association will be able to give: tubes with a shovel and a complicity as natural as it is explosive.
The tour will pass through the Zénith de Toulouse on November 24, 2022 but the duo will be very present, from the summer, throughout the region. An appointment can already be made on June 25 in Montauban, July 12 in Nîmes, July 15 in Carcassonne.
Sacred journey for the self-proclaimed sloth senior Dutronc!
