For our youngest readers, we remind you the Welsh multi-instrument-playing writer-composer-performer-producer John Cale first met success with Velvet Underground. But fights with Lou Reed encourage him to leave the band in 1968. He then debuted a solo career, started with “Vintage Violence”, and featuring about twenty studio albums. Among the major records, let us name “Paris 1919”, turning 50 years old in 2023!

At the same time, he works fruitfully as a producer, working with Nico from the Stooges and Patti Smith, and writes many soundtracks, especially for Philippe Garrel.

To (re)discover the spell-binding musical atmosphere of a legend live, meet on February 14, 2023, at the Salle Pleyel. A piece of advice, do not wait too long before booking tickets for John Cale & Band in Paris.
