Discovering an artist two weeks before the concert was my lucky moment of the month! Brian
\nFennell is an American singer, who has been writing indie music for several years, first with the band
\nBarcelona, and then went solo in 2016. He is now Syml, which means \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffSimple\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6 in Welsh, due to his
\nroots before being adopted. He just ended his Where Did We Go tour around the US and Europe,
\nand had a show in Paris, at the Point \u251c\u00ebph\u251c\u00aem\u251c\u00bfre concert venue on November 9th. And since French
\ntrains are so fast now, I could get there from Bordeaux without missing my Friday lectures (it’s a big\u252c\u00e1deal, trust me). The concert started with Harrison Storm as the opening act, who was great, with
\nonly his guitar and voice. Then, Syml came to the stage, with another musician, and they started
\nplaying beautiful music. It was both similar to the studio version, and very genuine at the same time.
\nBrian Fennell’s voice was on point to get the audience emotional when needed. He would let us ask
\nhim questions in between songs, such as if he liked cheese (which he does), or if he was planning on
\ncovering Britney Spears (which he was not). He also told us stories for some of his songs, such as
\nGirl, which he wrote for his daughter. He did not, however, sing any of his Christmas music, such as
\nChristmas lights. All in all, it was a great night, with an audience made of both teenagers and adults,
\nand a really authentic musician. I recommend listening to Fear of the water, Mr Sandman, or Hurt
\nfor me. My personal favourite song is The War, which he sang because somebody from the audience
\nasked him. And he aced it, it was also my favourite part of the concert!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
