Paris Nocturne

Life and jazz in the city of light.

Nikki Nouveau explores the timeless allure of Paris in her enchanting musical biography. Meet the fascinating ladies of Paris, from Colette to Marie Antoinette, Coco Chanel to Napoleon’s Josephine, who created an unequalled society of feminine charm, beauty, art, sexuality and love.

Be seduced and inspired as Nouveau and her band bring to life the bygone era of French jazz, ‘Nocturne’ night music and intimate cabaret from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. With delicate vocals and classical overtones, Nikki presents an uplifting musical escapade singing a rich repertoire from artists such as Josephine Baker, Dalida, Edith Piaf and Brigitte Bardot, along with her own original compositions and featuring piano by Mark Fitzgibbon, accordion by Steve Grant and double bass by Jordan Tarento.

With scores of performances around Australia and internationally, Nikki has gained a reputation of producing, directing and starring in high quality entertainment presented as sold-out shows to captivated audiences and rave reviews.

In 2020 Nikki released her debut album No Regrets (Love and Piaf) following her EP Bordello Blues, showcasing songs from her hit productions and original music in French and English.
