Quite regularly, the city of Nice offers musical events to the residents of Nice, and it’s free of charge. Starting tomorrow evening, they will be able to attend a concert featuring several local artists. “Nice Music Live” thus offers three evenings showcasing various musical styles to the citizens.
Reserve your next three evenings! From Wednesday, July 29 to Friday, July 31, the people of Nice are invited to the Théâtre de Verdure on the Promenade des Anglais, starting at 7 p.m. “Nice Music Live” has brought together several musical artists from the city and its surroundings to allow you to discover (or rediscover) some local musicians. These free concerts will include various musical styles to please everyone, from blues to electro, including hip-hop and French chanson.
Here is how these three evenings will be organized:
Wednesday, July 29
7:30 p.m. – MACHINE: Singer-songwriter since she was 18, Mathilde is an artist from Nice. Sensitive souls be warned, this enigmatic creature inhabiting the stage will leave a mark on you. With solar and charismatic energy, hip-hop strikes and rock riffs merge from one song to another in her vocal harmonies. Mathilde takes her audience with a force that is both human and wild in her MACHINE.
8:45 p.m. – Stéphane Brunello: It’s the story of a fifth-grade kid who gets handed a cassette copy of Queen and AC/DC during recess and never gets over it. Followed by David Bowie, the Beatles, Bashung, Telephone, Pink Floyd… With a guitar in hand, he had only one idea in mind: to be like his idols. A few bands, tons of songs and a few lifetimes later, Stéphane Brunello returns to us, passionate to the core and with an album in hand!
10 p.m. – Concert of Wake Up Movement artists
Thursday, July 30
7:30 p.m. – Nadiamori: The group Nadiamori was formed in 2002 around Nadia Scaillet, who grew up in South Africa, and Amaury Filliard from Cannes. Their influences blend, with Nadia’s side leaning towards electro and Amaury’s towards jazz. The birth of Nadiamori Electro Jazz is the result of this meeting. Nadiamori is thus the fusion of world, funk, and groove music with electro rhythmic bases overlaid with jazz-colored melodies.
8:45 p.m. – OC Brothers and Baby J: A band initially formed by the three Cosoleto brothers, who have been performing on local and national stages for 30 years in a Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Rock ‘n’ Roll style. They won the 2005 Blues sur Seine festival award for best Blues band in France. Originally from Nice, this family band also includes their brother-in-law Richard Peyrichon, his son Jimmy Peyrichon, and Baby J, a semi-finalist on The Voice 2020, daughter of the drummer and niece of the rest of the group.
10 p.m. – Concert of Wake Up Movement artists
Friday, July 31
7 p.m. – Dimitri from Panisse: Emerging from the alternative culture of the late 80s-early 90s, Dimitri from Panisse participates in numerous collectives (collectif zoumai). He participates in and organizes several events, including the independent Nice carnival, neighborhood meals, Santa Capelina… and concerts. He practiced Brazilian percussion for 10 years with Les Bosinaires de Nissa. Always very involved in the local scene, he organizes tropical nights in selecta mode, mainly in vinyl, but also works digitally. His project is to break musical habits and make people dance together with a demanding, curious, and off-the-beaten-path proposition. His spectrum, which he calls ethnic groove, is broad. He collects groups from around the world with a particular groove: Afro, Afro-disco, electro groove, psychedelic Brazilian cumbia, funk, sixties soul…
8 p.m. – Alexandra Miller: Alexandra Miller, the singer of the group, was a contestant on the famous show The Voice Ireland and charmed all four coaches with her captivating voice and unique timbre. This Franco-Irish artist honed her skills in the Choir of the Opera of Nice and is just at the beginning of her career. Her music is inspired by romantic melodies of the past with a retro-modern interpretation. This modern-day quartet uses jazz and electro-pop sounds.
9 p.m. – Cosmo Pat
10 p.m. – MLN-Headz: Offering a groove with jazz influences but above all a laid-back hip-hop, MLN-Headz draws inspiration from both the old-school era and the trap side of the force. The strength of the artist lies in a rich, unpredictable music that is accessible to all, with an extremely contagious energy. After a sizzling first concert, it became evident that listeners needed hip-hop, groove, and energy. Thus, MLN-Headz becomes a public necessity.
