“Her joie de vivre and boundless energy burst from the stage”Music venue PAARD
Celebrate the enchantment of timeless French chansons with internationally acclaimed TESS MERLOT (NET) and her band: Pete Jeavons (double bass), Kevin McDonald (guitar), Sean Lillico (piano), and Asha Henfry (flute).
From the first time Tess heard Jacques Brel, she was captivated. Hundreds of performances later, her passion remains strong, bringing the essence of this music to life. Her repertoire blends iconic classics from Brel, Edith Piaf, and Charles Aznavour with her own originals, sung in French, Dutch, and English.
“Tess Merlot is a fantastic singer who has clearly found her place both on stage and in the world of chanson. Her introductions are excellent, and song after song the audience is drawn in – through words, but even more through a beautiful, subtle expressiveness“
Music magazine The Next Gig
Tess is a celebrated star in her native Netherlands, with her songs Mon Paris, La Haye, and Rien à Perdre receiving extensive Dutch radio airplay. She has performed to packed audiences across Europe, including a sold-out headliner with The Hague Symphony Orchestra.
Whether on stage with her band or a full orchestra, Tess brings irresistible energy and joie de vivre. Sometimes stripped back and intimate, other times bold and powerful, her music always connects with the audience. Tess Merlot is the perfect addition to any room that doesn’t mind a little wine being spilled and hearts being filled!
“Tess Merlot is a must see and listen for anyone who loves beautiful, storytelling songs. Whether you can effortlessly read a book by Honoré de Balzac or can only just manage to say ‘au revoir!’ to the Parisian waiter with a heavy accent, you immediately understand the emotion Tess Merlot wants to convey. And that is the most important thing of all“
