Julien Biget sets out to rekindle on stage the memories and joy of his first musical awakening by performing an arranged cover of Neil Young's album Harvest.
In 1971, Neil Young is only 24, yet he seems to be in the autumn of his life. Exhausted by several years of rock ’n’ roll, he decides to step away from the stage for a while. Yet from this retreat emerges Harvest, his fourth album, which will unexpectedly bring him his greatest success. Julien Biget decides to pause and reflect on the lasting impression the Canadian singer has made on him. Thirty years after discovering the legendary album himself, he sets out to rekindle on stage the memories and joy of that first musical awakening by boldly taking on the challenge of an arranged cover. For the occasion, he brings together JB Hoste (Red Banjo) and Mathis Heyman (Jungle Sauce), forming a one-off trio of musical harvesters for a day, to celebrate, before autumn arrives, the renewed bounty of a timeless work.
