Many discovered him in the 1990s as the singer and guitarist of the band En Bref, a Northern Ontario group that made its mark on the Francophone music scene with iconic songs, including &#8220;Ici dans l&#8217;nord&#8221; (Here in the North), a true anthem to our Franco-Ontarian identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this special occasion, Yves will be joined by his longtime collaborator Shawn Sasyniuk, a professional drummer who has played with renowned artists such as Roch Voisine, Breen LeBoeuf, Wilfred LeBouthillier, Ren\u00e9e Martel, and Susan Aglukark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an acoustic duo format, they will revisit the En Bref repertoire and a few musical surprises in a blend of groove, road stories, and humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With nearly 800 shows together, one thing is certain: the energy will be palpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wonderful opportunity to connect in a different way, celebrate our Francophonie, and end the evening in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This event is open to the public.
