POLLYANNA

Just like Simone & Garfunkel

About Me


(FRANCAIS)
GROUPE
une fille (Isabelle : guitare, voix, songwriting) et un garçon (David : guitares, drums&percus, ukulele, charango,banjo, glockenspiel, triangle, voix, etc ) ... un peu comme Simone & Garfunkel ...
PRESSE
Entre idéal et désillusion, douceur et cruauté, nostalgie et foi absurde en l’avenir, Pollyanna ne tranche pas, mais semble porter chaque énigme, chaque contradiction comme autant de trésors. (Magic)
