Assumer un héritage, aussi lourd soit-il, et ne jamais craindre de regarder dans le rétro : c’est là où Jonathan Wilson excelle !
On a souvent défini la musique de Jonathan Wilson comme psychédélique. C’est vrai qu’elle l’est. En cause, l’amour pur et inconditionnel porté par l’Américain à Pink Floyd. Mais celui qui s’enferme s’étouffe. Et Jonathan Wilson a les idées trop larges pour se laisser prendre au piège. Tour à tour, il convoque l’esprit de Bob Dylan (on fait comme s’il était mort) sur Love to love,  Illumination nous ramène furtivement à la fougue électrique d’un Neil Young. L’intro de Fazon est là pour nous rappeler que l’animal peut également lorgner sur des horizons jazzy.

Jonathan Wilson, the Los Angeles-based artist and producer, is embarking on a very special solo acoustic tour across limited European markets this spring. This will be the first time Wilson has ever performed in this capacity and will likely be the only chance for fans to see Wilson in 2016 as he continues work on his next full-length release.

The performances will feature songs from both Wilson’s critically acclaimed releases, Fanfare and Gentle Spirit. In addition, Wilson will be performing songs from his album, Frankie Ray. Wilson recorded Frankie Ray in 2007 but the album was never officially released. There were an extremely limited number of CDs produced that have reached cult-like status amongst Wilson fans. As a special treat to fans, Wilson will be producing a limited 7” vinyl that includes several songs from Frankie Ray and available for sale only at these shows for a certain window of time.
