SALOME LECLERC & DAVID GIGUERE

QUEBEC QUEBEC

Salomé Leclerc had a precocious start as a musician. Discovered at the
2009 Granby Intemational Music Festival, where her song “Je tomberai’
won the SOCAN Prize for Best Song, that year was a veritable launch-
(OLE Uel cee The same tune also won her the Song of
the Year Award at the prestigious “Ma pre-
miére place des Arts’ competition. Blending
a mixture of influences, ranging from Jean-
Pierre Ferland and Richard Desjardins to Cat
Power, and the guitar style of PJ Harvey, with
melodies reminiscent of Feist, she set out on tour in Quebec, making a hit
in Tadoussac and at the Montreal Francofolies. She was singled out by
the recording company Audiogram, which produced her first and much
anticipated album, entitled “Sous les arbres”. This promising start eamed
Salomé a nomination at the 2011 Quebec Music Industry Awards in the
category Best New Artist, as well as receiving the “André Dédé Fortin’
prize awarded by the Quebec Society of Singers / Songwiters. Imme-
diately recognized by critics, this young artist stood out with her unique-
ness, originality and the tremendous sensitivity of her interpretation. With
such a strong start, Salomé Leclerc has already eamed a reputation as
one of the rising stars on the Quebec music scene. Critics and fans in
Canada and in Europe have already enthusiastically welcomed her new
album, “27 fois 'aurore’, released on September 23rd, 2014.

Abom performer with infectious charisma, David Giguére has attracted
alot of attention ever since his first appearances on the Montreal music
scene in 2010. With an intense and almost explosive stage presence,
David Giguere is an inspired actor and singer-songwriter-composer
who combines depth, versatility and originality. He has undertaken ma-
jor projects in quick succession, both on stage and on screen, with the
distribution of the successful film “Starbuck’ (Ken Scott) in 2011, as well
as his rendition of his composition “LAtelier’, taken from his first album
“Hisser Haut’ launched in 2012. This song is especially popular on so-
cial media, with more than 100,000 hits on Youtube. This album has
taken him all over Quebec and as far afield as Brazil. He has also per-
formed as opener for famous artists includ-
ing Ariane Moffatt, Coeur de Pirate, Benabar
and Louis-Jean Cormier. In 2014, he joined
forces with producers Jonathan Dauphinais
and Jean-Phi Goncalves to deliver a new
opus, CASABLANCA. This second album
is showing every sign of being a great success, as it has already been
nominated at the 2014 Quebec Music Industry Awards for Best Allter-
native Album of the Year.
