Gaëlle Buswel, from Alfortville, spent six years fronting the blues-rock band Cam On and lived in England before going solo (Source: fr.wikipedia.org). Her solo career began in 2010 after meeting guitarist Neal Black at a café-concert called Le Soubock in Cauville, Normandy; the pair self-produced her 2011 debut "Yesterday's Shadow," which introduced her to the French blues scene and to Canada via the Festival d'été de Québec (Source: fr.wikipedia.org). Her second album, "Black to Blue" (November 2014), broadened her audience and opened doors across North America. She has now played more than 500 concerts in Europe and toured North America, French Polynesia and Japan (Source: fr.wikipedia.org).

Musical Influence

Buswel's folk-inflected, 1970s-rock-leaning approach to the blues has helped widen the genre's palette in France beyond straight Chicago or Delta forms, and her international touring record has made her one of French blues' more recognisable ambassadors abroad (Source: fr.wikipedia.org).
