In anticipation of Bon Débarras’ evening concert on Jan 18, you’re invited to The Center’s Hailey House location to join us for a veillée (an evening gathering) in the dark of winter with mulled wine and cider, Québec-inspired desserts and a short set from these fantastic musicians. The traditional folk music of Québec has been handed down from French, Scottish and Irish immigrants, traditionally played in the kitchen at a veillée! Part of The Center's BIG IDEA project At the Table: Kitchen as Home. About Bon Débarras Bon Débarras unites the worlds of music, dance and poetry through a collaboration between Montreal artists Dominic Desrochers, Jean-François Dumas and Marie-Pierre Lecault. The group brings together a fusion of Quebecois folk music, traditional step-dancing and global influences for a show that is full of fun and inventive energy. On guitar, banjo, violin and harmonica, the trio opens a door to their recollections of America and their music is at the intersection of various traditions. Bon Débarras’ energy taps into the rhythms of today and ventures boldly on the multi-faceted road to tomorrow’s dreams, in an atmosphere that transcends boundaries and ages.
