QUÉBEC REDNECK BLUEGRASS PROJECT
The music of Québec Redneck Bluegrass Project (QRBP) calls for celebration and, above all, coming together. The quartet from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean pays tribute to its roots with its blend of folk, trad, bluegrass and punk. Festive anthems to be chanted in chorus, the colourful lyrics of JP “Le Pad” Tremblay describe with humour and transparency an atypical and full life.
On the road every summer, the group transports mandolin, violin, guitar, double bass and snowmobile across the province for shows with a high-energy atmosphere.
GRIMSKUNK
Grimskunk, formed in 1988 in Montreal, is a major force on the Canadian alternative scene. Acclaimed for their eclectic mix of musical styles, from punk rock to reggae, psychedelic influences and world music, Grimskunk is a veritable institution of Quebec counterculture.
The collective continues to make its mark on the musical imagination through its free spirit and desire to explore new sounds while remaining true to its punk roots. Grimskunk embodies a spirit of rebellion and creativity that crosses generations.
