Tickets are available there.

Walking down the route of Raoul Vignal’s new album “Years in Marble”, you may want to stop over as soon as “Century Man” begins. Everything is there: elegance, restraint, humbleness, homage.

"With such a solid third album, there is no point denying that we are witnessing one of the most accomplished careers in contemporary songwritingest." Backseat Mafia

"Delightful." NPR

"Now, as with any recording of this nature we would be remiss not to address the obvious: Yes, we can indeed point to the expected touchstones – Nick Drake’s stripped back immediacy, the plucking virtuosity of, say, John Martyn – but the true fact of the matter is that everything we hear here is, in its every aspect, resplendently Vignalesque. Trust us, check it out." Stereo Embers

"If you love early ’70s Scott Walker, Lee Hazlewood and other grandly orchestrated baritones, you’re going to dig ’Once’" Brooklyn Vegan.

"Gallic pop-psych voyager conspires with Aussie crooner." Mojo ****

"MASTER US songsmith and performer Scott Walker passed away in 2019, a huge loss to the musical world. Fans needn’t despair — Once, a result of a collaboration between Australian singer Maxwell Farrington and French musician Christophe Vaillant (aka Le SuperHomard), is as close to Walker’s orchestral pop you are likely to hear." Morning Star ****

"While Meadow Park Lane was a gem, and one of 2019’s best records, 2021’s Once, the new one with Maxwell Farrington is equally good." A Pessimist is Never Disappointed

A native of Lyon, France, Raoul Vignal began performing solo at the age of 20. Throughout his stage performances, he weaves a delicate and harmonious universe, an intimate folk where his guitar playing (finger-picking and alternate tunings) establishes a subtle resonance with his soothing voice. After his first album “The Silver Veil” (2017), then "Oak Leaf" (2018), the musician moved to Paris in early 2020.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the capital, he began writing his third album in the privacy and calm of his kitchen. After a new detour by Berlin, a city still rooted in his musical background, the native of Croix-Rousse settled in the Lyon region, away from the urban bustle, in September 2020. And it’s in the countryside, this isolated place where time stands still and the world outside disappears, that Raoul Vignal recorded ’Years in Marble’. With Lucien Chatin (drums) and Matteo Fabbri (sound engineer) as his only companions, he weaves captivating compositions with light shades and more spirited tempos. More hypnotic than ever, Raoul Vignal’s music is both timeless and deeply embedded in our specific time.
