Since its inception in August 2002, Le Vent du Nord have been enjoying rocketing success. They have received several prestigious awards, including two Juno’s (the Canadian Grammy).
The band is now one of the most-loved Quebec folk outfits throughout the world. The current line-up consists of singers and multi-instrumentalists Nicolas Boulerice, Simon Beaudry, Olivier Demers and Réjean Brunet. Some of their songs come from traditional folk repertoire, while others are original compositions.
On stage, these four friends achieve peaks of happiness they eagerly share with any and all audiences. This is undoubtedly music of the here and now.
‘To see them play live is to witness an explosion of notes, melody, and song, and an explosive and happy connection among musicians and audience’. – Folkwax
‘Le Vent had enough virtuosity and spirit to make its four musicians sound like 40 at times, and tackles Scot, Irish or French material with equal authority’. – The Boston Herald
