Québec Redneck Bluegrass Project

The music of Québec Redneck Bluegrass Project (QRBP) is all about celebration and, above all, coming together. The quartet from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean honors its roots with a blend of folk, trad, bluegrass, and punk. Anthemic and festive songs to chant in unison, the colorful lyrics of JP “Le Pad” Tremblay humorously and transparently describe an atypical, well-filled life.

On the road every summer, the band takes their mandolin, violin, guitar, and double bass across the province for electrifying performances.

Vilain Pingouin

Get ready to relive powerful songs that have marked your lives, to let loose together on every chorus: be branded with unforgettable new memories. Join them for an emotionally charged farewell tour, because it’s thanks to you that their music came to life, and they will repay you a hundredfold!

Not with melancholy, but with the ultimate feeling of a job well done and accomplished. 35 years of radio hits and reimagined songs for this final rendezvous, a show designed to leave as strong an impression (and with as much impact) as the first! With staging and surprises chosen from the heart, the band will say thank you to their fans before disappearing down the road.

Pépé et sa guitare

If Joey Ramone and Georges Brassens had a son, his name would surely be Pépé.

An tireless purveyor of happiness, a stage warrior with festive and biting songs, from the Plains of Abraham to the Bell Centre, and everywhere in between, Pépé conquers every crowd with his contagious energy and authenticity.

He will share with you the secret to happiness and take you through a full range of emotions throughout the evening.

You will surely leave with a smile, saying, "This is exactly what I needed."

Les Deuxluxes

Les Deuxluxes, a duo that turns heads and makes people nod in approval. An incessant rhythm, contagious energy, and above all, a winning formula.

First appearing in 2014 with an explosive debut EP, Traitement Deuxluxe, the band, composed of two multi-instrumentalists (Anna Frances — tenor guitars, vocals, and flute; Etienne Barry — guitars, drums, vocals), has firmly established itself as a key player in the local scene. Having performed in about fifteen countries and with three albums under their belt, the duo returns refreshed, armed with Pleasure Doing Business, a 4-track banger EP entirely self-produced and released under their own label, Noble Shit Records.

The guitars soar, the lyrics cut, and the arrangements wrap you up. Les Deuxluxes are right on their mark, and it would be a huge mistake to miss them!

Irish Moutarde

Since 2009, the Celtic punk rock band from Quebec, Irish Moutarde, has turned every show into a real party. The folkloric sounds of the bagpipes, accordion, and banjo mixed with the raw instruments of punk rock leave no one indifferent. Made up of 6 passionate musicians, Irish Moutarde gets crowds on their feet in Canada and Europe. The band has two successful albums under its belt, which have gained worldwide success on digital platforms and have been praised by critics.

Irish Moutarde is now working on its next album while continuing to hit the road, sharing their melodies and spreading thirst everywhere they go.

La Patente

La Patente is a party that has been going on for nearly 5 years without ever losing steam. After the album L'illusion de la perfection (2021) and the EP Le paradis des infidèles (2023), the quartet returns with Le cirque des mal-aimés, a folk-rock album tainted with sawdust, with a hint of barrel-bottom aroma. Emerging from the shadows of New Brunswick to set the stage on fire, the quartet, fueled by diesel and spitting the smoke of everyday life, asserts itself more than ever in its uniqueness on the music scene with its new record.

Don’t be surprised if, upon listening, you catch a whiff of a two-stroke engine mixed with the scents of wood and the breeze of a lake. It’s one of the side effects of repeatedly listening to the gritty backyard poetry of their classy-hearted bums.
