Before I start, it’s good to remember that Row E has great legroom if you pick the two seats on the edge (closer to the center)! Véro and I appreciated it.
After a few tour dates in December to shake some rust off (I’m assuming?), Jean-François Pauzé rolled into Gatineau to kick off his tour proper.
All we knew going into this show was the following:
- He was promoting his first solo album
- This album consisted of songs released after the death of Karl Tremblay
- There would be Cowboys Fringants songs played at the concert. But how many?
Turns out that this show was a celebration of everything we love about Les Cowboys Fringants, and more! The room was electric. The touring band consisted of quite a few members of the touring band of Les Cowboys Fringants so it was cool to see that continuation.
It looks like JF will be touring quite a bit in the future so if you love Les Cowboys Fringants, then this is a ‘must-see’ show. The new songs are great as well.
