Charlotte Gainsbourg to Stop By

She is perhaps France's most-beloved daughter, an award-winning actress and international musical star: Charlotte Gainsbourg, daughter of the iconic Serge, who inspired a pub in Greenwood that Seattlest wrote about shortly after it opened at the end of 2008. Point being, she's in town toay and will stop by the Alliance Française of Seattle offices at the Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford tonight at 7. She's on tour, promoting her latest album, IRM, on which she collaborated with Beck. (Digital download here.)

What's it like to live with two languages and two cultures? (Charlotte's mother is the English model-singer-actress Jane Birkin) The moderator will be Jon Kertzer from KEXP’s The Best Ambiance. The owners of Gainsbourg are also expected to attend.

La Gainsbourg performs at Crocodile tomorrow at 7 PM
