Expect exultant singing and raucous Quebecois foot percussion as fiddler Pascal Gemme and guitarist Yann Falquet come our way, packing a vast combined repertoire of French Canadian fiddle tunes and folk songs. Gemme, whose grandfather and godfather were fiddlers, learned his craft from the great old Quebecois fiddlers. His own compositions are innovative takes on the music passed down to him. Falquet’s formal training is in jazz but his long-time love of the roots music of French Canada, Brittain, Scandinavia, and Ireland results in a playing style unique to Canadian traditional music.
