\u00c9ric was first exposed to traditional Quebec music in Saint-C\u00f4me, a village in Quebec\u2019s Lanaudi\u00e8re region. Raised by a family entrenched in music, he began singing and playing guitar at the age of 10. In 1992, he unleashed his musical ambitions on local audiences by founding La Galvaude, followed-up later by Ni Sarpe Ni Branche and Norouet. <\/p>\n

\u00c9ric\u2019s passion for music also helped foster an interest in song, which led to several awards including a 2002 Prix Mn\u00e9mo for his role in producing the album Musique gasp\u00e9sienne, featuring violinist \u00c9douard Richard. In 2003, hot on the heels of this success, \u00c9ric became a member of La Bottine Souriante. <\/p>\n

\u00c9ric\u2019s love of music also spurred a passion for enlightening others and, following the completion of a Bachelor of Arts in pop guitar and jazz, \u00c9ric began teaching traditional music at Joliette\u2019s CEGEP r\u00e9gional de Lanaudi\u00e8re in 2002. Wherever he performs, \u00c9ric\u2019s rich vocal range and unquestionable talent on stringed instruments\u2014guitar, mandolin and bouzouki\u2014guarantee a rousing performance for all.<\/p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Born in Saint-Hubert, in Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie, David starts to play the violin at eight years old. It is during his teenage years that he finds a passion for Qu\u00e9bec traditional music. <\/p>\n

Always increasing, this passion leads David on the big professional stages at the beginning of his 20s with La Part du Qu\u00eateux, a band with which he records two album including one that was rewarded as \u00ab Best Album \u2013 Traditional \u00bb at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. Later, he joins the epic Qu\u00e9bec trad big band La Bottine Souriante, the two international projects Maja & David and COEFF 4 and recently, he gathers with his long time friends in De Temps Antan. <\/p>\n

David is also acknowledged for his music composition that can be heard in \u00ab Timber! \u00bb from Cirque Alfonse and for the original sound track of \u00ab Quand ferme l\u2019Usine \u00bb, a movie from the director Simon Rodrigue. Being a true passionate about Qu\u00e9bec traditional music, and wanting to share his knowledge about it, he caries a unique repertoire that one can hear wherever David goes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pierre-Luc was born in Louiseville, in Quebec\u2019s Mauricie region, and hails from a lineage where traditional music was always at the forefront of daily life. Although he began singing with his family at a very young age, Pierre-Luc was somewhat of a late musical bloomer, taking up the accordion at 18! But what he lacked in experience he made up for in determination. <\/p>\n

At 19, he founded Les Langues Fourchures, with whom he recorded his first album in 2001. For the next 4 years, he helped the band pay its dues and make its mark throughout Quebec and, in 2003, he joined La Bottine Souriante, one of the province\u2019s best-known music groups. <\/p>\n

Since then, he\u2019s wowed audiences from Dublin to Porto and Budapest to Melbourne with his unique humour and warmhearted charisma. Since ending his journey with La Bottine Souriante in 2008, Pierre-Luc has devoted himself to his true love \u2014 De Temps Antan. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
