Prairie Comeau<\/strong> is two lovers of song, nostalgic, a bit anachronistic, who carry with them the memory of a time when music was a verb, a gesture that was passed down, a great book kept preciously in the piano bench.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The couple began, for pleasure, singing songs together at the kitchen table. Quickly, a constraint took shape: rearranging songs from before 1960. The field is vast, resulting in a first eponymous album released in 2019.<\/p>

Over the years and through concerts, the group's approach became more refined. The two singer-songwriters decided to reopen the piano bench and dive into the archives of La Bonne Chanson<\/em>. Their most recent album, L'emprunt(e)<\/a><\/em>, produced by Nicolas Boulerice<\/strong> (Le Vent du Nord<\/a>), draws from this French-Canadian repertoire of the last century.<\/p>

The duo wishes not only to revive this heritage, but also explores how these songs might be experienced today, how they have traveled through the ages. The result is a timeless folk sound, a new gentle and nostalgic perspective on traditional song.<\/p>

Prairie Comeau<\/strong> draws a line through time, a thread that reminds us we are made of past and present.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
