We drew an SRO crowd for the French-Canadian traditional music duo Nicolas Babineau and Alexis Chartrand. This was a celebration held at the Saranac Fire Hall to launch their new recording and it was a great big fun event! Titled “un beau p’tit son†(translation: “a beautiful little sound”), the album was developed and recorded during two residencies at Hill and Hollow Music during 2019. Their first recording “Gigues à deux faces†was nominated Best Traditional Album at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and we expect that this new album will also be well received. The guys played wonderfully and Mélissandre Tremblay-Bourassa danced up a storm. It was a dynamic and utterly charming performance. Towards the end of the show Mélissandre came down off the stage to lead some dances – she actually got the crowd up and out of their seats to participate– the place rocked!
