Give a warm welcome to ‘good riddance’
Get ready for an exhilarating evening of music, dance and storytelling as Bon Débarras, the award-winning trio from Montréal, bring their unique blend of Québécois folk music to the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Thursday, April 10.
Known for their infectious energy, dynamic vocal harmonies and a rich tapestry of instruments, Bon Débarras promises an unforgettable night of traditional music with a modern twist.
Bon Débarras, meaning "good riddance" in French, is composed of multi-instrumentalists Dominique Desrochers, Jean-François Dumas and Véronique Plasse. The trio seamlessly blends traditional Québécois music with elements of spoken word, slam poetry and percussive step-dancing. Their performance is a high-energy journey through history, culture and rhythm, celebrating the rich musical heritage of French Canada while infusing it with contemporary influences from around the world.
Winners of the Québec Music Council’s prestigious Félix Award for Best Traditional Music Album of the Year, Bon Débarras will perform selections from their critically acclaimed album “Repères,” alongside other original compositions that highlight their innovative approach to folk music.
"Our music is more than just entertainment; it is a way to transmit tradition and bring people together," said co-founder Jean-François Dumas. "We take inspiration from the past but create something entirely new, full of movement, poetry and energy."
Expect an electrifying evening of fiddles, guitars, banjos, harmonicas and foot-stomping rhythms that will have audiences clapping, dancing and fully immersed in the joyous spirit of Québécois culture.
The April 10 concert begins at 7 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 NE Hwy. 101.
