To say Jean Beauvoir has had a colorful career would be a bit of an understatement. The Haitian-born musician served as Gary U.S. Bonds’ musical director at the ripe old age of 13, followed by stints with other ’50s legends, including Chuck Berry and The Flamingos. From there, he took a dramatic left turn and joined the punk band The Plasmatics. Following a solo career and two albums with Steven Van Zandt, Beauvoir moved into songwriting and producing, cutting tracks with some of the biggest acts in the world, including KISS, The Ramones, The Pretenders, Debbie Harry and others. Since the early ’90s, he has fronted his own hard rock band, Crown of Thorns. Recently, Beauvoir and his band held court in Gibson’s New York City Showroom.
