You won’t be able to stay in your lawn chair when Montreal’s Le Winston Band takes the stage. Get your dancing shoes on and prepare yourself for a rip-roaring experience as the Winston’s bring their hybrid brand of rollicking Zydeco, French-Canadian roots, rock and Cajun to Mission. Inspired by different music from French-speaking North America, the group enthusiastically merges cultures and eras to create a doubly original sound, both focused on the roots it has chosen and on the scene where they live. Their repertoire includes new compositions as well as traditional pieces from Louisiana, Quebec and beyond.
Diatonic accordion, a contemporary Zydeco band formation combined with exhilarating performances and infectious (the good kind) energy will inspire you to just let loose and boogie!
Le Winston Band is Antoine Larocque (vocals, accordion), Vincent Fillion (guitar, vocals), Antoine Fallu (electric bass, vocals), Andrew Duquette-Boyte (rubboard/frottoir, triangle, vocals) and Gregory Fitzgerald (drums, vocals).
