EARLVILLE - Earlville Opera House (EOH) is thrilled to announce the arrival of the award winning and highly acclaimed Canadian folk music group Le Vent du Nord,  a leading force in Québec’s exciting and progressive Francophone folk movement, after a return from a magnificent Scandinavian tour.  

Le Vent du Nord  returns to the US with their first Spring tour date taking place on EOH’s historic Main Stage on Thursday, April 10 at 7 p.m.


The group’s vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions, while their highly rhythmic and soulful music, rooted in the Celtic diaspora, is enhanced with a broad range of global influences. Since first launching in August 2002,  Le Vent du Nord  have enjoyed meteoric success, performing well over 2,200 concerts over 4 continents, releasing 12 albums and racking up several prestigious awards, including a Songlines Music Awards – Americas (2023), a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), three Félix (Quebec), an OPUS (Quebec) a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at Folk Alliance Annual Gala.


On stage, these five friends [Nicolas Boulerice, André Brunet, Réjean Brunet, Olivier Demers, and André Gagné replacing Simon Beaudry in march 2024] create intense, joyful and dynamic live performances that expand the bounds of tradition in striking global directions. This is the modern sound of tradition, a music of the here and now.  Le Vent du Nord look beyond the standard approaches to tradition in their collaborations and they’ve also created a symphonic concert that, according to Voir Montreal, “puts all traditional folk naysayers to shame.”
