Concert by Alphonse Bisaillon - Opening act: Sandra Contour

  • St Jax Montréal 1439 rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest Montréal, QC, H3G 1S6 (map)

Sandra Contour, a folk singer who tries to deconstruct dramatic and invasive concepts to make something restorative, followed by Alphonse Bisaillon who will blow your ears by mixing rap, rock, disco, and more, with his self-mockery.

Description

PART ONE

Sandra Contour's songs invite you into a bittersweet universe, prone to smirking. It is in casualness and fragility that the singer-songwriter from Lac-St-Jean shares with you her sensitive folk, well anchored in an uninhibited introspection.

Distribution

Sandra Boulanger: voice and guitar

Pierre-Antoine Tanguay: vocals, double bass and banjo

***********

PART TWO

Alphonse Bisaillon is the ardour of a Charlebois and the playfulness of a Boris Vian. It is the sickly perfectionism and secret sensitivity of a Gainsbourg combined with the humility of a Bill Evans. It's song, which owes a lot to Aznavour, but also progressive music, which takes us in all directions.

Distribution

Alphonse Bisaillon: Voice and keyboard
