From French Canada, Le Vent du Nord (Wind of the North) is the most accomplished of the French Canadian bands and one of the few that feature hurdy-gurdy playing along with the full range of instruments, lots of foot percussion, and vocals in French. And, for this, their first performance in Tucson--we have them at the Temple of Music and Art downtown! Two notes: Le Vent's lead fiddler, Andre Brunet, switched over from playing with the band La Bottine Souriante (Smiling Boot) who are no longer touring. Note 2: The first of the two videos has 4 of the 5 members who will be here--without Andre Brunet, and the second of the videos is one of their signature songs, and does add a couple from Quebec on vocals only--it had the best sound quality.
All reserved seating will be $24; $22 seniors and TFTM members.

“…(a) kaleidoscope of sounds and styles with equal parts amiability and energy… crossing genres sometimes within one song or tune set, devising thoughtful, elaborate arrangements, and adding their own compositions, which fit snugly into the mix.” - The Boston Irish Reporter
“These three guys took us into their musical universe; sometimes very energetic, sometimes very poetic and touching. Beauty for the soul.” - - André Marchand, musician, QC, CAN
