Son spectacle prend par moment des allures intimistes et d'autres aspects sont tout à fait électrisants. -Festival Acadien de Caraquet
(translation: At times, his show takes on an intimate air, while at others it's electrifying.)

Du blues acoustique mélangé avec du folk qui contraste avec des rythmes endiablés que le bluesman arrache sur sa guitare.
-L'Acadie Nouvelle
(translation: Acoustic blues mixed with folk, contrasting with the frenzied rhythms the bluesman plays on his guitar.)

Le Moulin présente le bluesman acadien JP LeBlanc, et il sera accompagné de Clinton Fernandes, un batteur/percussionniste exceptionnel. Pour JP, originaire de Bathurst, N.-B., il s'agit d'un retour à Clare, où il s'est produit à quelques reprises il y a plus de 20 ans.

JP a tourné au Canada et en Europe -il est présentement en France- et il a représenté les provinces de l’Atlantique à l'International Blues Challenge à Memphis en 2024. Il a tout récemment enregistré un album à Nashville avec le légendaire Colin Linden (un lauréat du Grammy) et avec l’invité spécial Steve Riley. Sa musique est une fusion de ses racines blues avec les sonorités de la Louisiane. Fortement influencé par sa participation au Festival Acadien et Créole à Lafayette en octobre 2022, JP LeBlanc a produit un EP de blues en français qui met l'emphase sur la guitare dobro avec un son qui provient droit du bayou. Pour ce spectacle il chantera surtout en français.

The Jaybirds are a superb bluegrass band, blending original songs and instruments with Appalachian-type music to create a unique sound. Now in their 20th year, the band has released seven acclaimed albums and received two Juno nominations.

John Reischman has released 3 critically-acclaimed solo instrumental albums and has played on a Grammy-winning album. He has also put out 3 duo albums with guitarist John Miller. He began in the San Francisco area with the Good Ol’ Persons bluegrass band and was an original member of the Tony Rice Unit. He moved to Vancouver in the early 90s and formed the Jaybirds in 1999.

“One of the world’s undisputed masters of the mandolin, famed for outstanding tone and taste.” –Bluegrass Unlimited

“…It is also a bluegrass album that should appeal to much more than hard-core fans of that genre.” –P-E Comeau, review of first album in Dirty Linen #101, 2002

Folk Radio UK said the “On That Other Green Shore album showcases an accomplished, experienced band at the peak of their powers, with musicianship of the very highest order.”

Peghead Nation called it “one of the most beguiling bluegrass-rooted recordings of 2017.”

Los Angeles, CA-based guitarist Patrick Sauber has played with, among others, Doc Watson, Richard Greene, John Jorgensen, Peter Rowan, Tim O’Brien and John Fogerty. He played on a Grammy-nominated album, and appeared in the film A Mighty Wind.

Chilliwack, BC-based Trisha Gagnon has been described by Sing Out! as “one of the most versatile” and “irresistible” lead vocalists in bluegrass. Trisha anchors what Dirty Linen magazine calls “gorgeous three-part harmonies.” Her solo album includes guests Vince Gill and Peter Rowan.

Nanaimo, BC-based Nick Hornbuckle plays with a two-finger roll unlike other contemporary banjo players. “Nick Hornbuckle’s banjo can be downright spine-tingling,” said the L.A Daily News. His solo album 12×2 (+/-1), was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award in 2015.

Spokane, WA-based Greg Spatz was hailed as a “world-class bluegrass fiddler” by Fiddler Magazine. Audiophile Audition says Greg’s “virtuosic playing is flawlessly delivered time after time,” while Bluegrass Unlimited says he “lays down some seriously fine bluegrass fiddle”. He’s also an award-winning novelist.

Here is a little-known video of the band singing Lennon and McCartney’s “Two of Us” from the Beatles’ Let it Be album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMn_nxfXCGQ
