“On stage Le Vent du Nord knows how to deliver music that will move any crowd.”
Combining a great stage presence with an energetic, dynamic flair, Le Vent du Nord are one of the leading names in Québécois folk music performing original songs inspired by their tradition – a truly fabulous sound!
The group never fails to delight crowds with their glorious mix of fiddle and foot-tapping, guitar, accordion, piano, bass, hurdy-gurdy and wonderful four-part harmonies. They deliver catchy songs and tunes, some taken from the Québec traditional folk repertoire while others are original compositions. The rich and varied instrumentation and well-polished musical arrangements simply enhance their uplifting repertoire.
Considered a driving force in progressive folk, the five musicians of Le Vent du Nord capture the energy and mirth of a Saturday night kitchen party, infusing old Québec with a breath of fresh, cosmopolitan air.
The group has racked up many prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys) and ‘Artist of the Year’ at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala – and played innumerable gigs on 4 continents – with top billing at festivals throughout the world including Scotland’s celebrated Celtic Connections.
