Songwriter, composer, singer and musician, the poetic Rudy Guittard develops a strange musical universe under the clear influence of his fathers (Tom Waits, Emir Kusturica, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, BB King, Screaming Jay Hawkins). It’s a universe inhabited by excentric and fragile characters and it has a mixture of sounds coupled with a skinned voice full of sensitivity, something that hits home.
For a longtime he has cultivated and still cultivates a immoderate taste for the blues, jazz, gospel and the sound riches of the world.
His songs have been mainly inspired by catastrophic love stories and by his amazement of the beauty of the little things. They are cupped of romanticism but without hiding cynicism, rhythmed by a desire to stomp.
In 2012, Rudy Guittard is accompanied by the Old Black Circus, a group of musicians from different horizons.
