VIVE LA REVOLUTION: Bad Reputation
Performing the Songs of Georges Brassens Hear the Gypsy jazz-influenced, raunchy and subversive chansons of legendary French singer Georges Brassens in English and French alongside an exhibit of James Shearwood's collection of revolutionary French 1968 posters. Friday, February 13th, 2026 at 7:30pm Old Town Hall Theater, 67 Main Street, Brewster, NY $20 Bad Reputation is the musical project of Paris-born, New York–based musician Pierre de Gaillande, reimagining the songs of legendary French poet and singer Georges Brassens for English-speaking audiences.
De Gaillande’s translations capture the wit, rhythm, and lyricism of Brassens’ originals with remarkable fidelity and musicality. Three volumes of Bad Reputation—released on Barbès Records and Vermillion Music—offer a rare chance to experience Brassens’ genius through a fresh, natural English voice. Bad Reputation has been featured on NPR’s The World, TV5, and in numerous outlets across France, Spain, and the U.S., praised for opening Brassens’ work to a new generation of listeners.
