LES SOEURS BOULAY & LES HAY BABIES

QUEBEC NEW-BRUNSWICK
Le Centre will feature female performers who, in spite of their youth,
have made a meteoric ascent on the francophone music scene in
Canada over the past two years. This is your chance to see Les Sosurs
Boulay perform for the first time in Vancouver. This singer-songwriter
composer duo is composed of sisters
' Stéphanie and Mélanie Boulay, who hail
se * from New Richmond, Quebec. Their
2s breakthrough with the public came in 2012,
when they won the prestigious compeliition,
Les Francouvertes. Soon after, in the
spring of 2013, they launched their first album “Le poids des confettis’,
which was enthusiastically received by critics and audiences alike, so
much so that it won two trophies at the 2013 Quebec Music Industry
Awards for best new artist, and best folk album of the year. They were
then named “Discovery of the Year’ in the vocal category by CBC-
Radio-Canada for the 2013-2014 season, and they are in competition
for band of the year and best live show at this year Quebec's Music
Industry Awards that will take place on October 26th, 2014.

The Vancouver audience will also have the pleasure of seeing “Les
Hay Babies’, a trio of three women from New Brunswick, who will
perform as the opening act for Les Soeurs Boulay. Discovered in the
2013 Francouvertes competition, these young Acadians were the first
artists from outside Quebec to win this prestigious competition. Hailing
from three of the four cardinal points of New Brunswick, Katrine Noél
on the ukulele, Vivianne Roy on guitar and
Julie Aubé on banjo blend their accents
fo create a highly orginal soundscape,
presenting their own indie-folk recipe.
One of their major strengths lies in their
| vocal harmonies, but the relevance and
candidness of their lyrics also give this trio
its contagious charm and charisma. “Les Hay Babies’ caried off six
trophies at the New-Brunswick Music Awards as well as the prize for
Francophone Album of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards in
April 2014 for the album “Folio”. They also have just been nominated
for best folk album and best new artist at this year Annual Quebec's
Music Industry Awards. In September 2014 they also received the
Edith Bulter Award from the Quebec Society of Singers / Songwniters
that rewards francophone musicians in Canada.
