“If you’ve seen them before, you already know. And if you’ve never seen them, words won’t do them justice. Le Vent du Nord is one of the best bands touring today, no matter your musical taste.”

With its roots in Celtic tradition, Le Vent du Nord brings their high energy folk music to the Centenary Stage Company’s Sitnik Theatre in the David and Carol Lackland Center on Saturday, February 9th at 8 p.m. This group composed of singers and multi-instrumentalists play a unique blend of original compositions and traditional Quebecois folk songs with a spirited Celtic flair, also incorporating familiar Cajun melodies and rhythms. Playing with Celtic luminaries such as The Chieftains, Le Vent du Nord has been enjoying increasing success since their inception in 2002 performing with other popular musical acts the world over. Their new album “Tromper le Temps” was awarded “World Music Album of the Year” in 2012.
The Boston Herald described the band’s sound, featuring button accordion, foot percussion, guitar and fiddle, as “defined by the hurdy-gurdy, which adds an earthy, rough-hewn flavor to even the most buoyant dance tunes." Members of Le Vent du Nord include Nicolas Boulerice, Simon Beaudry, Olivier Demers, and Réjean Brunet who’ve all been training in their instruments since they were young boys. Considered a driving force in progressive folk, “these four young men... have taken Celtic music filtered through the Québécois tradition and hopped it up with vitality and innovation,” says Eugene Weekly.
