Four guys from Quebec (Canada) come together
for a session every saturday night to play the
blues and get rid of bad vibes. Kind of collective
therapy for “old” bluesmen (authentic band VSOP …lol).
The rehearsal room is located in the Lanaudière region
and has a breath-taking view to the St.-Lawrence-River.
A real source of inspiration…
All members are former semi-pros that took a break
from touring for a while.
A teacher, a civil servant, a mechanic
and a technician… Opposites attract!
Hope you enjoy us!
· WE´RE SEARCHING FOR A SINGER
We´re looking forward to produce a record.

imprenable sur le fleuve St-Laurent. Inspirant...
Tous d'anciens semi-pro ou pro en sabatique de la
