Musical biography
Alain Renaud started at the end of the 1960s as part of the young rock music scene in France contributing to it his dexterous way of playing the guitar, his melodic songs and imaginative sophisticated instrumentals. His very poetic lyrics are written in English.
As sources of inspiration Alain Renaud names especially Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy, Olivier Messiaen, Jimi Hendrix, John McLaughlin.
In 1969 he debuted at the Parisian music club Golf-Drouot, playing with the group Triangle.
In 1970 Alain Renaud founded the group Triptyque, with Clement Bailly on drums and Didier Batard on bass. Triptyque performed at many concerts releasing in the same year the single “TRIPTYQUE If you are in a bad mood / Don't worry”.
In 1975 Alain Renaud released his first solo album “ARENAUD”, which was followed in 1976 by the single “Did you try / Out of time” and the album “OUT OF TIME”, and in 1982 by “BACK AND IN AGAIN”. Renaud was joined by musicians like Richard Pinhas, Alain Bellaiche, Guy Delacroix, Patrick Gauthier, Benoit Widemann and others.
