5 Horses
Marc Verwaerde
Paris
Marc Verwaerde writes, records and performs under the name 5 Horses. French artist is a born-and-raised rock & folk amateur, traveling the world with his acoustic guitar in hand and bringing together the most talented musicians to make sophisticated yet approachable music. Multicultural by essence, Marc Verwaerde’s music mixes his various international experiences (England, Spain, Brazil) with a strong British and American folk foundation. From his Brazilian experiences, Marc Verwaerde nurtures a big network of talented musicians that join him on various of his most recent works, including upcoming and unreleased material. Sao Paulo’s Supercolisor band members Ian Fonseca (keyboards, vocals) and Jérôme Gras (bass, vocals) are keepers in this team, along with Pedro Lacerda (Glue Trip) on drums and Phelipe Sabo on brass and synths. In Europe, 5 Horses’ team is made of OLIVIER LEGALL on guitars, keys and synths, Clément Febvre (Svindal) on drums, and Max Darmon on bass. French and Brazilian press labeled Marc Verwaerde’s latest EP “a Better Man” a delicate masterpiece with a beautiful voice and melodies that lean towards Paul Weller. 5 Horses explores music and songwriting in the same vein as Radiohead, The War On Drugs, Glen Hansard or Justin Vernon (Bon Iver): never fake it, always make it. Be real.
