Entre Québec & Saskatchewan

To celebrate my new album, I invite you to immerse yourself in my musical universe by browsing my launch site bourque.red/EntreQuebecAndSaskatchewan.

Discover the musicians and songs from the album through texts, photos, quizzes, games and videos. Buy the CD or vinyl album and most importantly, if you like, share the good news around you!''
