Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they’ll appear here.
Bistro Moustache plays French Café Music, a mix of Manouche, Gypsy Jazz, Musette, Swing, and French songs.
You'll be transported to an evening of French Café music straight from the terrace of a Paris Bistro, a Guinguette on the Marne river or a Bal Musette on the banks of the Seine.
Just as if Charles Trenet, Jacques Brel, Yves Montant, Georges Brassens, Serge Gainsbourg, Tino Rossi, Edith Piaf, Boris Vian, Django Reinhardt, Gus Viseur and Jo Privat were together for a magical evening.
We also play Polkas, Tangos, Auvergne Bourrées and Celtic folk.
We feature accordion, guitars, mandolin, flute and clarinet and all the songs are sung in French by a native Parisian Chanteur.
We hired for just one person and Olivier was punctual, very friendly, talented, and accommodating. Thank you so much!
Response from Bistro Moustache: French Cafe Music:
Thanks Timothy, it was a pleasure to play for for this party, you were a very welcoming host and everyone was super nice. Happy birthday to Sebastien again.
Price Range: $200 - $2500
Gig Length: 45 - 240 minutes
Languages: French, Spanish
We will entertain the guests, either as background music during the dinner or the ceremony. We can also play for dancing.
We bring our P.A. and because we have a lot of experience playing weddings and parties, we are very self-sufficient and will not get in the way of the event.
* Olivier Zyngier: vocals, guitar, mandolin
Paris born Olivier Zyngier founded Bistro Moustache specifically to showcase the French café music, a genre he (re)discovered long after moving to the United States. He previously applied his guitar fingers to varied musical styles, including Bluegrass, Western Swing, Country, Gypsy Swing, Irish folk, Klezmer, Balkan. He is a founding member of the Baguette Quartette French orchestra, and numerous other bands such as the Mandorian Candidates mandolin trio, Swing Tonic, a western swing band, French Toast a traditional folk ensemble, and many more. He also currently plays guitar with Douce Ambiance, upright bass with the Redwing Bluegrass band, and mandolin with the elusive Instant Klezmer Mandolin Orchestra.
* Charlie Hancock: accordion
After cutting his teeth playing disco & punk rock in 1970's Los Angeles, Charlie Hancock has lived for the last 30 years in the Bay Area, playing piano & accordion mostly for folk and swing dancers. He is a member of the quartet Euphonia and several contra dance bands, and has recorded with Sylvia Herold, Cathie Whitesides, Ray Bierl, & Holly Tannen. He studied jazz piano with Mark Levine.
* Richard Southwick: guitar, clarinet
Born in Boston, Richard joined his first band when he was 16, and had to sneak into the clubs to play under the suspicious gaze of club owners. Since then, he's played up and down both US coasts, and in England. He's played in a wide variety of jazz, blues and R&B groups, on guitar, saxophone and clarinet.
We just require 3 chairs and 1 electrical outlet.
