Le Bruit Court dans la Ville

PRESENTED BY THE CELTIC SOCIETY OF THE MONTEREY BAY

Lisa Ornstein, Normand Miron, and André Marchand are legends of Quebec's traditional music scene. Fiddler Lisa and guitarist/singer André first met as bandmates in La Bottine Souriante, the iconic trad super group which kickstarted Quebec's folk music revival. Normand is a marvelous singer and accordionist who grew up surrounded by family musicians in Lanaudière, the epicenter of Quebec's folk music scene. As a trio, Le Bruit Court Dans La Ville produce a music which is at once deeply-rooted, innovative, nuanced, and spontaneous. André's meticulous accompaniment and gorgeous vocals compliment Normand's pulsing accordion, grit-and-polish vocals and irrepressible spirit, while Lisa's fiddle combines soaring harmonies with fiery tunes until dawn learned over years of kitchen visits with old masters.
