Le Vent du Nord has crowds dancing to the sound of fiddle and hurdy-gurdy, featuring both traditional and original repertoire. One of the group’s many strengths is their animated stage presence: energetic, dynamic, generous and in touch with the audience. Le Vent du Nord consists of four singers/multi-instrumentalists: Nicolas Boulerice, Simon Beaudry, Olivier Demers and Réjean Brunet, who joined the group early in 2007. They sing originals and songs taken from the traditional repertoire, in their native French, to the delight of their audience for whom it is more often than not a foreign language. Le Vent du Nord continues to amaze their audiences, and whether they perform at a festival, college or performing arts center, people keep asking for more.
