French actress and chanteuse Charlotte Gainsbourg will tour North America for the first time this spring, with performances featuring material from her celebrated new album, IRM, which was produced by Beck. The tour will begin in Vancouver on April 11 at the Vogue Theatre, and will include a set at the Alix Goolden Hall on April 12 on her way to perform at the Coachella Festival on Sunday April 18.

Backing Gainsbourg in the upcoming live shows will be a highly accomplished band including Bram Inscore (bass), Amir Yaghami (strings/guitars/percussion), Brian LeBarton (keyboard), Nicole Morier (background vocals/guitar) and Eric Gardner (drums).

IRM is Gainsbourg’s third album, and continues the talented artist’s tendency to embrace new music that challenges its audience’s preconceptions. Her debut in 1986 came at the tender age of thirteen, when she sang for her father Serge Gainsbourg throughout the album Charlotte Forever. That same year, she won the “Most Promising Actress” Cesar for her role in the film L’Effrontée, setting in motion a pattern of notice and praise she would continue through her acting career. In 2006, her second album, 5:55, reached the top position of the French charts.
