An intimate, interactive acoustic concert tailored to your venue, your audience, and the atmosphere you want to create.

I'm Gilles Gary, a French artist who sings in five languages and performs upbeat ☀️, cheerful 😁, and lively 🌱 pop songs that appeal to audiences of all ages and from around the world.
My journey began on the streets of New Zealand in 2012. That experience taught me how to quickly connect with a wide variety of audiences and create a genuine musical moment almost anywhere.
Today, I put on warm and interactive concerts, blending original compositions, well-known covers, and upbeat songs

Tout est encore possible is a sunny, deeply human acoustic album born from a simple need: to slow down, listen to one’s heart, and return to what truly matters.
Driven by the essentials: guitar and vocals
The verses explore the tensions of our time brought on by the pressure to perform (exhaustion, loss of meaning...) to show that another path is possible
Ten songs about freedom, love, nature, exhaustion, healing, and the courage to choose a simpler, more vibrant life.
Warm, intimate, and engaging music, designed to be listened to but also sung along with.

I also offer a repertoire of about ten original compositions, totaling nearly an hour of music.
I can perform in a wide variety of settings:
bars, restaurants, campgrounds, birthday parties, weddings, festivals, retreats, ecovillages, and private, nonprofit, cultural, or community events.
Each performance is tailored to the audience and the desired atmosphere.
Since every event is different, I don’t offer a completely set-in-stone package. However, there are three main options available.
Sunny Covers Concert
A warm, accessible, and friendly format, ideal for bars, restaurants, campgrounds, birthdays, weddings, small festivals, and private events.
On the program: French songs, international covers, upbeat tunes, and interaction with the audience.
Original Concert — Anything Is Still Possible
A more immersive concert centered on my original compositions, blending sunny songs, folk energy, organic rhythms, and sing-along choruses. This format is particularly well-suited for festivals, ecovillages, retreats, mindful events, cultural venues, and community projects. The audience is invited to listen, sing, feel, and participate.
Custom Mixed Concert
A format designed in collaboration with you, blending original compositions and covers. The concert’s content is tailored to the desired atmosphere, the audience, the duration, the venue, and any specific songs you’d like to include.
Connecting with the audience, a sense of humor, adaptability.
Depending on the context, my music can be intimate, joyful, profound, danceable, or interactive, while remaining sincere, accessible, and grounded in the moment.
I strive to create a genuine connection, not just background music.
My technical requirements are simple and can be easily adapted to the venue.
For small events, I’m self-sufficient thanks to a 60-watt battery-powered amplifier. So I don’t necessarily need an electrical outlet.
This setup is generally suitable for an audience of up to about 50 or 60 people, depending on the venue’s layout and the expected sound level.
For larger audiences, it’s best if I can connect to the venue’s sound system or a more powerful sound system.
I simply need to know in advance:
- The approximate number of attendees;
- The venue and access conditions;
- The space allocated for the performance;
- The schedule;
- Any noise restrictions;
- Whether the event is indoors or outdoors.
I can also play background music before the concert and between sets.
For larger events, I’m happy to work with the venue’s equipment or with a technical crew.
My repertoire spans several genres: French chanson, acoustic pop, reggae, rock, folk, funk, soul, world music, and singing circles.
I cover songs by Jean-Jacques Goldman, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, The Weeknd, Francis Cabrel, Daft Punk, Ben E. King, and many others.
I always tailor the song selection to the venue, the audience, and the desired atmosphere. A concert can consist entirely of covers, entirely of original songs, or a mix of both.
