So Frenchy So Chic, the annual celebration of French music, food and wines, will feature an all-female bill at its three garden party events in early 2019.

“So Frenchy So Chic has always surfed the zeitgeist and never more so than 2019,” says founder Jean-Francois Ponthieux.

The four acts are:

Camille Dalmais, one of the first artists that SFSC brought and whose 2008 triple j hit Ta Douleur put French experimental pop under the spotlight.

She also performed with Nouvelle Vague.

Her live set, referred to as a “one woman choir”, draws from her seven albums.

Yelle is a dada-pop trio and also the stage name of art-pop colourful and hi-energy frontwoman Julie Budet.

Having crossed the EDM and pop divide, they are one of the very few French acts to have been invited to play at Coachella three times over, not to mention, having opened for Katy Perry on her UK California Dreams tour.

Marseilles-born Clara Luciani, says Ponthieux, “is cut from the same cloth as SFSC icons like Françoise Hardy, Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Emilie Simon; and not just in her kohl-rimmed eyes, vintage styling and heavy-fringed brunette looks.”

She was once part of SFSC alumn La Femme.

Cléa Vincent was a student of Paris’ famed Arpel Jazz School and cut her teeth at jazz club open mic nights.

She diversity comes from taking inspiration from everyone from Kylie Minogue to Madonna and Edith Piaf.
