Le Vent du Nord

Quebecois ambassadors Le Vent du Nord return for another dynamic must-see show.

Le Vent du Nord have become incomparable ambassadors of Canada’s Francophone culture and a major creative force within Québec’s progressive folk music scene. The harmony singing of five voices together with foot-tapping (podorythmie), hurdy gurdy, bouzouki, bombarde, fiddle and accordion all coalesce to illustrate just how rich, inventive and very much alive Québec’s traditional folk music is.

A Le Vent du Nord show is one where you can let your hair down, dance your heart out, feel moved by the stories and reinvigorated by the energy and drive of these deeply connected musical explorers!

Since forming in 2002, the band have performed over 2,400 shows across four continents, released 13 albums and received numerous prestigious international awards. The current line-up consists of founding members Nicolas Boulerice and Olivier Demers, Réjean Brunet, André Brunet and newest member André (Dédé) Gagné (since March 2024).

The band’s original compositions, arrangements of traditional repertoire and dynamic live performances are now acclaimed worldwide and with their latest release Voisinages they prove their music is very much of our time.
