Français :
LES COUTURIERS prennent un très grand plaisir à partager leur passion pour la musique rhythm & blues et soul (Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, the Commitments... et leurs propres compositions ). Leurs arrangements sont modernes, mais respectent toujours l'esprit de cette musique pure et vivante.
Leur son est clair et bien dosé. L'ambiance est énergique, en lien avec le public. Leurs chansons plaisent à toutes les générations, au croisement du blues, jazz, funk et soul.
La plupart des morceaux sont en anglais, style oblige, mais ce groupe joue aussi des chansons en français et en italien (Gainsbourg, Zucchero, Fly and the Tox, Bill Deraime).

English:
LES COUTURIERS is a band formed by six musicians of different origins (French, Italian, Canadian) who got together to share a passion for Rhythm & Blues. Three vocalists cover adaptations of the great classics by Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, the Commitments, Van Morrison, etc. and their own tunes, backed by a guitar, bass, drums and sax combo with rock, jazz, funk and blues backgrounds.
The sound is clean and energetic, great for concerts, festivals, clubs and all kinds of events. Most of the songs are in English, with a few French and Italian titles blended in to serve up an international R&B menu.
