(Scott Fisher)

The French are coming. Or at least the "French Ben Harpers" are coming ... on Saturday, June 21, to Justin Herman Plaza for a little gig called the Fete De La Musique. Two of the guys on the bill, Scott Fisher and Eric John Kaiser actually live in Portland, Ore., but both sing in French, and Kaiser was born in France. The third artist, Tété, is a French soul singer with Afro-Caribbean roots and pop music taste. Together they'll be performing as part of this French shindig (that includes six bands total) that runs from noon until 6 p.m. on Saturday. The show is free, as are these two bossa nova tracks by Fisher, "Mon Amour" and "Sans Toi." -- Jennifer Maerz

Hi, I am Scott's manager and thought a few more facts might be interesting..

Scott is mainly an american pop singer but has been dabbling in French - having dual heritage.

The video is the title song of his second national release (obviously, NOT sung in French).

The two french bossa novas were written for the movie The Last Word starring Winona Ryder. It debuted at Sundance and should be out later this year.
