Mama's Opry

In Spite Of ourselves

Nous avons fait la connaissance de Robin et Matt Soergel alors qu'ils se produisaient avec le groupe Ruby Beach. Arvid Smith était également de la bande. Nous avons croisé leur route plusieurs fois, lors de concerts ou de soirées musicales. Ils sont tous deux fans de folk et de country traditionnelle. Robin aime chanter des titres d'Iris DeMent ou de Patsy Cline, alors que Matt chante et l'accompagne (c'est un as du picking). Nous sommes honorés d'avoir pu jouer avec eux.

Robin nous a quittés le 30 janvier 2020.

One day, on the way back from a gig, we rode a long time with a young passenger who was drawing everything she was seeing. Looking at his works, we thought "she's very talented, we'd love to share her enthusiasm, let's keep in touch". The passenger was Marie Béney. She was 18 and was drawing since she could hold a pencil. She has been learning fine arts for 3 years in Nantes, Quimper and she keeps on learning graphism in Paris. On the side, she's been learning fiddle for 8 years and she now begins to play guitar.

« The project I worked on with the Hoboes and their designer, Jocelyn Lecocq has been my first professional job. I hope I'll be able to meet such a fine team soon.» Marie
