The Boulay Sisters, Louis-Jean Cormier, Philippe Brault, Claudia Bouvette, Joseph Mihalcean and Jason Bajada are also part of the band gathered by Seidel. Thus, the album will offer 12 original songs, all inspired by the style and arrangements of the late 60s, the golden age of contemporary folk music. A first extract must be unveiled on January 27.
