Artiste du mois : Michel Lalonde

Originally from Eastern Ontario, Michel Lalonde is much more than a musician; he is a cornerstone of Franco-Canadian music. Whether through his legendary group Garolou or his solo projects, Michel has left a lasting mark on the music scene with his warm voice and deeply human lyrics.

In his new show, “From Glen to Garolou”, Michel, like a storyteller, weaves the threads of his memories, inviting us to relive the defining moments of his journey. This musical voyage blends memories, anecdotes, and iconic songs, from his humble beginnings with Glen to the celebrated success of Garolou. Through this performance, Michel embodies the living memory of a culture—a bridge between past and present, where each note echoes the story of his Franco-Ontarian roots.

With rare simplicity and authenticity, Michel Lalonde continues to captivate and inspire. His work resonates as a tribute to a unique heritage, honouring the generations that came before him while reaching those yet to come.
