A Toi!

Hommage à Joe Dassin

Welcome to our tribute show celebrating the life and music of Joe Dassin!

Joe Dassin, an American-French singer-songwriter, left an indelible mark on the music world with his timeless melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Born in New York City in 1938 to a family of Jewish descent, Dassin’s unique blend of American folk, French chanson, and international pop created a sound that transcended borders and languages. His deep, soulful voice and poignant storytelling captured the hearts of millions, making him one of the most beloved artists of his time.

Stirling Austin spent a significant part of his life in France, deeply influenced by the music of Joe Dassin. As a professional crooner, Stirling covers songs from various renowned artists such as Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Nat King Cole, but Dassin’s music holds a special place in his heart.

From the romantic allure of “Les Champs-Élysées” to the reflective beauty of “Et si tu n’existais pas,” each song tells a story of love, life, and the human experience. Join us as we pay homage to Joe Dassin, celebrating his legacy and the music that continues to inspire generations.

Ce dernier est né le 5 novembre 1938 à New York et en 16 ans de carrière (1964-1980), c’est plus de 50 millions de disques qui furent vendus dans le monde. À la suite de son départ, ce chanteur, compositeur et écrivain aura laissé une trace importante ainsi qu’une remarquable signature musicale.
