Lehmanns Brothers

Far from the shady bankers of New-York, it was in Angoulême in 2012, in a small garage on Avenue Lehmann, that five high-school music students found themselves and met-up, groove brothers, sharing the same passion for Afro-American rhythms. Influenced by funkers such as Prince, Ghost-Note and D'Angelo, the Frenchies intend to revisit the famous jazz-funk of the seventies, while instilling it with echoes of hip-hop, house and nu-soul. But there are no covers here, as these young musicians, with four EPs to their credit, present only compositions by the band's members: guitarist Alvin Amaïzo, drummer Dorris Biayenda, keyboardist and keen vocalist Julien Anglade, in an incandescent rhythmic alchemy that has nothing to envy their prestigious rolemodels. With more than fifty concerts a year under their belts, criss-crossing Europe without ever leaving their audiences unmoved, the band present in 2021 the EP The Youngling, Vol. 1, whose excellent single Inked - Alhambra Studios Live Session travels across the Atlantic. An audience without borders began to develop. After that the EP The Youngling, Vol. 2 (Alhambra Studios Live Session) was released in 2022. A nod to Snarky Puppy, this production features a live studio session that leaves a lasting impression. In 2023, while the concerts continue in full swing, the three founders have in their heart the desire to regroup around compositions of a different hue, signaling a new era in the band's dynamic.
