Frans Schuman is a an Indie Folkster from New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. He plays his raw sound with a broken guitar and a harmonica. He performed his first concerts in Europe where he played from drunkards joints to packed venues such as La Bellevilloise.
On a shoestring budget he recorded his debut album in July 2009 in a basement rehearsal room outside Paris. It will be released in May 2010.
A “Sincerity, rather rare these days” comes out from his folk songs, inhabited by a “true spirit”. As one listener puts it: “I woke up this morning with the grey sky. I put the radio on as I pour myself a cup of coffee. As I heard that sweet folk ballad called Neon Dirt Road with this soothing voice all of a sudden the day didn’t seem that bad. Even my coffee has taste this morning!”
