Josée Allard

Singer-songwriter Josée Allard, grew up in British Columbia where she started singing and composing songs at 10 years old. Largely influenced by Jewel and Sarah McLachlan, the ability to entertain a French or English audience is what sets apart this talented young redhead. Josée has opened for famous Quebecois artists Jean Leloup and Diane Dufresne, and has worked with many professional francophone musicians.

Isabelle Longnus

Singer, songwriter and composer, actress, poet and producer, this multidisciplinary artist has made her mark as a key figure on the francophone cultural scene in Western Canada. Nominated time and again, she has won many awards in performing arts and film.

Saint Pierre

Originally from Quebec, singer, composer songwriter Saint-Pierre has been making music since the nineties. In 2006 he won the following awards at the Pacifique en chanson competition: Fan's Choice award, the Press award, Best Song for his title "Je suis comme toutes les femmes", along with the Marie Woolridge prize. This success opened the doors for him at the Winnipeg Chant'Ouest competition, where he won the Prix Mercure.

Samuel Sixto

Hailing from Switzerland, Samuel learned to play piano at a young age and went on to study music professionally at the Jacques-Dalcroze Institute in Switzerland. Before long he had chosen voice as his instrument. He has accompanied various artists including Alain Morisod, Jewel Staite and Kim Kuzma and also performs his own songs.

Wintermitts

Five musicians, Lise Monique, David Thomas Manzl, Shane McMillan, Christian Chaumont and Swann Barrat, form a group in which each member makes a unique and subtle contribution to a rich musical blend. Their lyrics successfully weave in melodious ballads with accordion accompaniment and Canadian folk music with a hint of rock. An irresistible mix that makes this group so unusual and so easy to love!

Les Trois Accords in concert

Les Trois Accords, you just can't help loving them! With hits like Hawaiienne and Loin d'ici they won the hearts of a devoted following and their new album Grand Champion international de course is bound to be just as popular with their fans. Their music is still just as wildly melodic and their lyrics are both polished and… absurd. This is a concert you simply cannot miss out on!
