Walk Off the Earth

The Canadian band Walk Off the Earth returns to Paris for a series of concerts at Le Trianon. Expect an evening rich in energy and musical creativity.

Walk Off the Earth, originally from Burlington, Ontario, formed in 2006 and quickly distinguished itself through its innovative approach to music. The group is composed of Gianni Luminati, Sarah Blackwood, Joel Cassady, and Ryan Marshall. Their particularity often lies in the simultaneous use of a single instrument by multiple members, or in the use of unusual instruments, creating a unique visual and sonic signature. This ingenuity first captivated a wide audience through online videos before propelling them onto the international stage.

Their musical style is an eclectic blend of pop, independent rock, and folk elements, characterized by complex vocal harmonies and inventive instrumental arrangements. The group has built a solid discography with albums like "R.E.V.O." (2013), "Sing It All Away" (2015), and "Here We Go!" (2019). Among their emblematic titles are audacious covers like their version of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," which largely contributed to their notoriety, as well as original compositions such as "Red Hands" or "Rule The World," which illustrate their ability to write catchy melodies and poetic lyrics.

Walk Off the Earth's stage reputation is well-established. Their concerts are true experiences where audience interaction is paramount. The performances are dynamic, often unpredictable, and highlight their instrumental virtuosity and cohesion as a group. Each member brings their touch, whether through singing, guitar, bass, drums, ukulele, or other instruments, often played unconventionally. This generosity and inventiveness are what make each stage appearance memorable.

Their passage at Le Trianon, an emblematic Montmartre venue, offers an opportunity to discover or rediscover Walk Off the Earth's universe in an intimate yet vibrant setting. It is a chance to appreciate their musical talent and communicative energy up close, which transform each concert into a collective celebration of music and creativity. The Parisian public will thus be able to share a unique moment with a group that continues to surprise through its originality and commitment.
