A Musical Voyage
We had a wonderful time at Contact ontarois last month in Ottawa. Many of you who could not attend are curious about the new show, so I thought I would share with you what drove me to create this one-man show at this point in my career.

Showcasing at Contact ontarois
I'm happy to announce that I'll be showcasing with an excerpt of my new one-man show "De Glen à Garolou" at the Harold Shenkman Centre in Orléans as part of Contact ontarois 2024. The show is a musical travelogue of my five plus decades on stage and the somewhat surprising story of a little rock band that reinvented Frenc Canadian folk music.
