The American singer will devote an evening to her cover of the 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert, from which she made her last album.
Bourges Cathedral will open its doors to American singer Cat Power, for a tribute concert to Bob Dylan, as part of the Printemps de Bourges festival, from April 24 to 28, 2024.
This is the logical continuation of the recent release of the record Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert. Recorded on November 5, 2022 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, this live captured Cat Power recreating, song by song, one of Bob Dylan’s legendary concerts. Provoking the ire of the early fans in the room, Bob Dylan switched from acoustic to electric in the middle of this show at the Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1966, long known as Royal Albert Hall Concert due to poorly documented pirate recording.
«More than any other songwriter’s work, Dylan’s songs spoke to me and inspired me ever since I started listening to them at the age of five», confides Chan Marshall, who hides behind the alias Cat Power, in the notes of intentions of his record.
Another tribute then a more classic program
Another meeting of the Printemps de Bourges, Personal messages will see artists cover the repertoire of Françoise Hardy, all orchestrated by Sage, solo singer under this alias who is also sound architect for others (Woodkid, Laurent Voulzy or even Eddy de Pretto). This will be Act II of this creation, following a first part with a different casting at the Hyper Weekend Festival from January 26 to 28 at Radio France, in Paris.
Before the revelation of these two event shows, Printemps had already unveiled its more classic programming, with headliners such as Mika, Zaho de Sagazan, Hoshi, PLK, Niska and Shaka Ponk. The Printemps de Bourges has attracted more than 200,000 festival-goers in recent years, a count including paid festival entries and free events in town.
