Not sure that his name registers on the radar of many people outside France, Miossec (French site) is a talented songwriter. Not a great voice but he knows about atmosphere.
Miossec recent album 'Finisteriens' shares his broodings on the meaning of life, work and the pursuit of happiness.
He does not hide his Breton roots and his attachment for his hometown, Brest.
If I was going to put him somewhere on the map of contemporary French singers-songwriters, I would say somewhere between Etienne Daho and Alain Bashung.
