Dany Placard
Dany Placard will make a rare visit to Montreal, and the last of his tour, at the Ausgang Plaza on December 4th. He will perform there songs from his albums I don’t know anything about astronomy and Astronomy (continued), launched a year apart, in winter 2020 and winter 2021. More rock and psychedelic albums and much less folk-rock, which suggests an evening that moves, while he will be surrounded by five musicians. Tickets on the pointdevente website.

Gab Bouchard
Even if Gab Bouchard launched his album Sad same two weeks before the start of the pandemic, and that he started performing more than a year later, last spring, his songs still managed to make their way to many ears. He will put an end to his (too short) tour on December 4, at Club Soda, with a concert entitled… Sad farewell same, which promises to be epic and rock’n’roll, in its image. One last opportunity to see him or see him again, while waiting for the second album. Tickets on the Club Soda website.
