SUMMARY:Le Vent du Nord
DESCRIPTION: \nLe Vent du Nord are firm friends of WemsFest\, and their local audience continues to grow despite the likelihood that many listeners won’t understand a word that’s being sung – it doesn’t matter! If you’ve seen them before\, you know. If you haven’t\, take a chance on something different – you will not regret it! \nThe multi-award-winning and highly acclaimed Le Vent du Nord is a leading force in Québec’s progressive francophone folk movement.  The group’s vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions\, while enhancing its hard-driving soulful music with a broad range of global influences. \n \nSince its inception in August 2002\, Le Vent du Nord has enjoyed meteoric success\, performing well over 2\,500 concerts over 4 continents and racking up several prestigious awards\, including a SONGLINES MUSIC AWARD -Americas (UK\, 2023) Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros (France)\, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys)\, three FÉLIX at ADISQ (Québec)\, a Canadian Folk Music Award\, and been awarded Artist of the Year at the Folk Alliance annual gala. \nThe group exhibits great finesse and flexibility\, appearing regularly on Canadian\, American\, French\, and UK television and radio\, and participating in a wide variety of special musical projects. They’ve collaborated and performed with a diverse range of artists including: Väsen\, Sharon Shannon\, Harry Manx\, singer Julie Fowlis\, Dervish\, The Chieftains\, Yann-Fañch Kemener\, Québécois roots legend and master storyteller Michel Faubert\, Apiary fiddle band\, Breabach and many more. Not content with standard approaches to tradition\, Le Vent du Nord has also created since 2007 a symphonic concert that\, according to Voir Montreal\, “puts all traditional folk naysayers to shame.” \nAs an amazing live performance quintet\, Le Vent du Nord continues to explore new sounds with stunning vocal arrangements. On stage these 5 friends create intense\, joyful and dynamic live performances that expand the bounds of tradition in striking directions. \nTHE BAND\nNicolas Boulerice – vocals\, electro acoustic hurdy-gurdy\, piano\nAndré Brunet – fiddle\, foot-tapping\, vocals\nRéjean Brunet – basses\, diatonic accordion\, jaw harp\, piano\, vocals\nOlivier Demers – fiddle\, guitar\, foot-tapping\, mandolin\, vocals\nAndré Gagné – vocals\, bouzouki\, guitar \nOn stage these 5 musicians create intense\, joyful and dynamic live performances that expand the bounds of tradition in striking global directions.
