Alice Bro's project is a festive, folk, bawdy one, which leaves its audience almost as perplexed as a pile-up in winter. Often called the queen of botches, the band's conductor explores the dubious convoys of vulgarity, while expressing deep existential torments.

Dale(s) Hawerchuk , in Quebec, is as much the glorious Winnipeg Jets forward as a rock quartet active for over 20 years and their flagship song. Formed by brothers Sébastien and Sylvain Séguin on vocals and guitars, Charles Perron on bass and Pierre Fortin on drums, the group quickly made a name for itself by propelling earworms of the "in your face" type with similarly big riffs, imbued with a communicable bonhomie. The Dales are back - but also, they never really left, and so much the better

After 40 years in the business, it's a return to the roots, a room, a stage, a spot; Chantal Lamarre invites the public to an evening like in the good old cabarets of yesteryear where people sing and dare to take the steppe.

Observer of the world, mockingbird, host and stage girl who, until the age of 60, never thought for a second of venturing there alone, "she sings, she dances, she acts", the "oooo" should follow "aaa", with the promise of laughter and, perhaps even, the indispensable little "motton" of emotion; in short, in all pretension, a winning formula for a variety show with vintage codes that exploits very current issues. A look in the rearview mirror to consider the future with less heaviness; the chatterbox who comments on major events with her critical sense and her humor, the girl who talks about society and culture with impetuosity and the clown woman who has never been afraid of ridicule will meet, for a beautiful evening, to get out of the grayness, have a smile and the desire to see life a little differently... Ladies, gentlemen, and everything in between, young and new old; Steppettes et cornemuses, is definitely to be added to your outings diary!

Shortly after, she began recording new songs. At the same time, concerts became an increasingly important part of her daily life, as she toured across the province and opened for bands such as The War on Drugs and The Barr Brothers.

Born in Ottawa to French-speaking Quebec parents, the group sings in both French and English, and sometimes even tries their hand at Spanish.

Abracadabra  as a quest for the absolute, as a desire to still believe in something. For all the knots that we must make disappear to appear as we truly are, without fear and without embarrassment. A formula that we would like to see everything sorted out, everything resolved. A word that we repeat to ourselves while staring out the window. By dint of repeating it, will it end up opening a door inside ourselves? Accompanied by 5 musicians,  Klô Pelgag  invites us to join her in this constant hunt for fun. In this urgency to create music that pierces as fiercely as our emotions. After all, perhaps the solution is hidden in the depths of a show, in this very rare impression of sharing something that leads us to recognize the natural magic of things,  Abracadabra

A true Montreal rock 'n' roll war machine, Les Breastfeeders have been setting Quebec and other stages ablaze for nearly 25 years. Right from the start, the garage rock sextet has made a name for itself with its electrifying and effective performances. Although the group has been rather discreet in recent years - the time to build other empires, heal the wounded and tighten up the troops - we have been able to see them in action a few times, alone or sharing the stage with other rock 'n' roll legends like the Sonics or the MC5. Over the years, the group has carried its heavy artillery to the biggest North American cities as well as across the Atlantic, breaking everything in its path, including the language barrier.

We are a group of long-time friends, musicians passionate about power metal. For years, we played many covers, but without ever embarking on a concrete project. However, we realized that Nightwish was at the heart of our common influences. That's when we decided to pay tribute to this iconic band.

It's rare for professional marriages to celebrate a silver wedding anniversary, but that of Dominic Sillon and Martin Cloutier is made to last! It was at the École nationale de l'humour in 1992 that the two acolytes became inseparable by forming the duo Dominic et Martin. Noted for their impeccable sense of punch and their almost surgical rhythm, the duo made their mark thanks to their numerous participations in the Just for Laughs Festival, several projects on television (Dominic et Martin, C'est mon show) and a first solo show (Dominic et Martin dans leur première tournée d'adieu) which attracted more than 100,000 spectators. Four other shows would see the light of day thereafter (Dominic et Martin dans une salle près de chez vous, Inséparables, FOU and Juste) in addition to many acts created specifically for the ComediHa! festivals in Quebec City and Just for Laughs in Montreal. In 2022, they present SIX Dominic and Martin, a sixth show in their career in which they once again exploit the natural chemistry that made their reputation.

First there is David Lafore's repertoire, by turns teasing and melancholic, his voice with a surprising range, his crazy guitar and his precise lyrics, each time surprising. And then, which embraces all that, there is his stage art, contrast, very funny, very poignant. He makes us laugh, cry, think and laugh again! A very undulating concert/show, with an amazing groove, guided by the writing and the very particular spirit of this very contemporary author-composer. Note that this is an all-acoustic performance, that is to say without any sound system, which naturally creates a proximity, a warmth, and even one can say a timelessness that is quite rare in the end.

Bass, pedal steel guitar, keyboards, and brass all flow freely in the mix.
