The Sacramento French Film Festival , Record Club & The Verge Gallery Presents A Tribute To Serge Gainsbourg! @ The Verge Gallery - Saturday, April 2nd - 8PM

2011 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of French Icon Serge Gainsbourg (he died of a heart attack on March 2, 1991). Singer-songwriter, director, actor, photographer, provocateur, iconoclast, father of actress-singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, husband of actress-singer Jane Birkin, lover of French icon Brigitte Bardot, and much more, Gainsbourg was a major figure in the 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's pop-culture, all through a fog of Gitanes and alcohol... He is still today considered as one of the world's most influential popular musicians. Come and celebrate the spirit of "Gainsbarre" with us ! Born on April 2, 1928 Gainsbourg would have turned 82 this year.

Featuring music by DJ Christophe and DJ Roger, music videos, live music, film clips,...
Doors open at 8pm - tribute bands at 9pm.
Raffle Ticket Prizes will be given away courtesy of SFFF!
Wine & Beer Bar.
