Amélie-les-crayons (born 1978 in Vienne, Lyon) is a French singer-songwriter, with an emphasis on theatricality and humour in her performances and that of her group.
In 2003, she put a real band together with funny-haired Heiko (piano, clarinet, tuba), Michel (accordion) and Laurent (double bass).
In July 2006, Amélie said good bye to her hometown audience in the Roman Theatre of Vienne, this time in front of a crowd of 8000.
[citation needed] The album 'La Porte Plume' was released in October 2007 and a new tour began that would end in December 2009.
That time, the show was even more extraordinary : a 2-meter-high door-piano was the central character of a musical set where Amelie surrounded by her 3 boys (Olivier, Antoine and Guillaume) would appear, vanish, be suspended in mid-air, reappear on top of the monster-piano.
