-The Republican inhabitant of Lorraine: " between Cock Robin and Peter Kingsbery, the style is not any more the same. How do you explain this transition ? "

-Peter Kingsbery: there is a difference because Anna La

Cazio (editor's note: her friend of childhood who sang with him previously) is now absent. I thus wrote for a duet but today I write for a single man. We also live in an another time. I changed my songs while keeping my spirit. Finally, I evolve as any artist otherwise we so much have to make occasions.

-R. L.: your songs make feel a certain intimacy. Is it the expression of a new Peter Kingsbery ?

-P.K.: when I met myself free, I wanted that we discover my personality and especially, I wanted to break the traditional chain. I explain. Most of the singers write their songs, record them and leave for tour to make the promotion. By breaking this chain, I decided to write then to produce me in concert. Moreover, the songs which I interpret are on no album.

It is a way of trying my songs before recording them. Then, I chose to make a unique tour. Unique because I wish to have a more intimate public.

-R. L: you pass in transit now between France and the United States. Why to have chosen France ?

-P.K.: Why I came in France ? Simply because I always had the desire to speak about French and to discover the culture of this country.

At the school, I have never had the luck to learn a language but now it is made thing. I remember the first time when I arrived here, I was as a child in one shops of candies. In fact, I fell in love with France.

I always have a house in Los Angeles but I found an apartment in Paris in the XIVth district.

-R.L.: Why did you choose small rooms to occur ?

-P.K.: I play with an experimental forming and I remain sat during concerts. I thus needed small rooms where the atmosphere is very intimate.

Besides, it allows me to gather(reunite) my most devoted fans.

-R. L: and Pont-à-Mousson ?

-P.K.: I had no time to visit. We directly went to the abbey. But, there is nothing to say, this monument is magnificent and the reception is formidable. I believe that I am the most fortunate man of the planet.
