LANEN ENTRE QUÉBEC & SASKATCHEWAN

lanEn "Entre Québec & Saskatchewan" was born from a need to build a bridge between my identities as a Québécoise and Saskatchewanian. Recorded in Québec City and in Regina, it brings together original songs that refer to people, locations and events reminding me of the roots I developed over time in Saskatchewan and Quebec, two places I call home.

To celebrate my album, I invite you to immerse yourself in my musical universe by browsing my launch site. 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!
