La Vent du Nord

From the Lowell Folk Festival web site:
The afternoon concert reached itscrescendoo when this group took the stage. The music beat was infectious.Quebecois - Le Vent du Nord performs the traditional French songs, dances, stories and tunes of Quebec, and are widely recognized as one of the very best traditional Quebecois ensembles. The group consists of step dancer and accordionist Benoit Borque, pianist and vocalist Nicolas Boulerice, fiddler Olivier Demers, and guitarist Simon Beaudry.
Simple "kitchen music", one can image a similar group sitting around a fireplace in the cold, dark of winter (good thoughts for such a warm Saturday summer afternoon) and getting into a jam session. The fiddle, bones, guitar, accompanying a story... and the evening passing pleasantly.
