about
Gal Musette is a singer-songwriter from Southern California whose melody-driven indie-folk songs combine the spirit of French chanson from the early 1900’s with a folk flare, and a touch of modern instrumentation, driving a unique combination of sounds. At age 14, inspired by The Magnetic Fields’ triple album 69 Love Songs, Gal recorded her own collection titled 70 Love Songs, which caught the attention of the band, and won her an opening slot on a few of their Midwestern U.S. tour dates. In more recent years, Gal has opened for several renowned artists such as Macy Gray, Suzanne Vega, Todd Snyder, and Donavon Frankenreiter, and has performed at both NXNE and SXSW festivals over the years. While her artist name is taken from bal-musette, the accordion-based, waltz-style French instrumental music, Gal’s primary inspiration is drawn from songwriters including Joni Mitchell, Regina Spektor, Björk, Cocteau Twins, Nina Simone, Big Thief and Laura Marling.
