Hello.
Thanks for the news of Marquette. It's a long time since I lived there, so
it's interesting to hear of such events. If only Maryland were closer...

> Since its founding in August of 2002, Le Vent du Nord has quickly become
one of the most recognizable and esteemed bands of the Qu?bec traditional
music world. The group is now comprised of the singers and
multi-instrumentalists Nicolas Boulerice, Simon Beaudry, Oliver Demers and
R?jean Brunet. They sing songs taken from the traditional repertoire as
well as their own compositions. Their energy captivates and mesmerizes all
audiences!
>
>
> Le Vent du Nord offers an enlivening concert experience, characterized
by its authenticity, sensibility and humor, and sprinkled with a touch of
romanticism. You will let yourself be carried away into a special place by
these four engaging characters. The spirit and roots of Qu?bec traditional
music permeate the concert: Frenzied podorythms, fiddle and accordion, as
well as refined orchestrations colored by a savage-sounding hurdy-gurdy,
superb 4-voice harmonies, traditional airs, original compositions, ballads,
complaints and call-and-answer songs. The band sings only in their native
French, to their audiences delight.

> The inaugural Upper Peninsula Folklife Festival will take place March
