Eric Chenaux

Eric Chenaux is a Canadian experimental singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his genre-blurring sound that weaves together jazz, folk, and avant-garde textures. Based in Toronto, he’s been a distinctive voice in the city’s avant-garde scene since the 1990s, crafting music that balances improvisational guitar work with tender, crooning vocals. His playing often drifts between intricate fingerpicking and abstract, effects-laden explorations, creating a soothing yet adventurous vibe. Collaborations are key to his practice—he’s worked with artists like Ryan Driver (featured on *Warm Weather*) and has ties to the experimental label Constellation Records.

Recent releases like *Hello Eyes* and *Slowly Paradise* highlight his knack for melding poetic lyricism with loose, dreamy arrangements, while live recordings such as *Clot Valencia (Live)* showcase his improvisational spontaneity. Whether solo (as on *Guitar & Voice*) or in collaborative settings, Chenaux’s music feels both intimate and unpredictably playful, like a late-night conversation that twists into something beautifully strange.
