Pretty Old Soul (P.O.S.) s'inscrit dans la lignée des grands crooners des années 50, perpétuant l'héritage musical de légendes telles que Frank Sinatra et Nat King Cole. Ce groupe contemporain ravive l'essence même du crooning, un style de chant intime et séduisant qui a émergé avec l'avènement du microphone dans les années 1930. Les crooners, ces chanteurs à la voix chaude et enveloppante, ont marqué l'âge d'or de la musique populaire américaine. Nat King Cole, avec sa voix de baryton sombre et granuleuse, est devenu l'un des chanteurs pop les plus éminents de sa génération, rivalisant même avec Frank Sinatra. Ces artistes ont excellé dans l'interprétation de ballades romantiques, créant une atmosphère intime et sans artifices qui captivait leur public. Pretty Old Soul reprend ce flambeau, propulsant son auditoire dans un tourbillon de passion romantique. Leur musique se caractérise par des rythmes envoûtants et des swings triomphants, rappelant l'époque où les plus grands succès étaient dominés par les chansons sentimentales des crooners.
Le groupe, composé de Matthieu au chant, Benjamin et Martin à la guitare manouche, et Stéphane à la contrebasse, fusionne habilement le jazz manouche et le swing "Crooner". Cette combinaison unique permet à P.O.S. de recréer l'ambiance nostalgique des années 50 tout en y apportant une touche moderne. Dans un paysage musical en constante évolution, Pretty Old Soul offre une parenthèse intemporelle.

Pretty Old Soul (P.O.S.) follows in the footsteps of the great crooners of the 1950s, carrying on the musical legacy of legends such as Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. This contemporary group revives the very essence of crooning, an intimate and seductive style of singing that emerged with the advent of the microphone in the 1930s. Crooners, singers with warm, enveloping voices, marked the golden age of American popular music. Nat King Cole, with his dark, grainy baritone voice, became one of the most prominent pop singers of his generation, rivaling even Frank Sinatra. These artists excelled in the interpretation of romantic ballads, creating an intimate, unadorned atmosphere that captivated their audiences. Pretty Old Soul takes up this torch, propelling their audience into a whirlwind of romantic passion. Their music is characterized by haunting rhythms and triumphant swings, recalling the days when the sentimental songs of crooners dominated the greatest hits.
The band made up of Matthieu on vocals, Benjamin and Martin on gypsy guitar, and Stéphane on double bass, skilfully fuse gypsy jazz and crooner swing. This unique combination allows P.O.S. to recreate the nostalgic atmosphere of the 50s while adding a modern touch. In an ever-changing musical landscape, Pretty Old Soul offers a timeless interlude.

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 1x90 minute set. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
We can learn 1 specific song but we did create a perfect setlist :)
True band feeling and groove and amazing vocal performance.
