Yves Lambert, one of the most influential and legendary players in
Quebec’s traditional roots music scene, announces the upcoming US release of Laissez
courir les chiens, the latest album with his group, Yves Lambert Trio on June 24th.
Lambert, who fronts the trio on lead vocals, diatonic button
accordions, harmonica, jaw harp, and percussion, was one of the founding
members of traditional French Canadian folk group La Bottine Souriante in 1976.
Lambert toured the world with
La Bottine Souriante, honing his
charismatic ability to translate anecdotal, poetic, and political texts into
songs, while accumulating over a half–million records sold, three Juno Awards (Canada’s Grammy), and a BBC Music Award for “Best Traditional Album” and “Group of the
Year” in the process.
Lambert then “sent shockwaves throughout the artistic world”
according to Quebec City’s French language daily paper Le Soleil, when he departed La
Bottine Souriant and surrounded himself with new local talents, creating
the Bébert Orchestra in 2004 and
releasing Récidive, which went on to win the Félix (awarded by ADISQ
– Quebec’s recording industry association) for “Best Traditional Album of the
Year.” Le Monde à Lambert
followed in 2007, and Bal à l’Huile arrived in 2009, with
both albums picking up prizes at the Canadian
Folk Music Awards.
In 2010, Lambert
formed the Yves Lambert Trio with
longtime Bébert Orchestra members Tommy Gauthier (violin, mandolin,
bouzouki, and feet) and Olivier Rondeau,
and road-tested the new combo on a month-long Canadian tour in the summer of
that year. Encouraged by charmed
audiences and the pleasure of challenging themselves musically, the group
affirmed its distinctive personality on the appropriately titled Trio
album release in 2012, picking up another Félix
for “Best Traditional Album of the Year.”
Now, Lambert,
Rondeau and Gauthier offer up the second Yves
Lambert Trio album Laissez courir les chiens. The album track “Suite pour Justin” is comprised of a trio of instrumentals
composed by Gauthier for his son, Justin, is streaming
now via Elmore
Magazine.
Those who haven’t had the opportunity to discover Lambert during his 40-year musical
career traveling the world will undoubtedly soon fall for his charisma and
talent, coupled with the virtuosity and passion of Gauthier and Rondeau,
that rounds out the Yves Lambert Trio. By reviving undiscovered songs and adding
their own energy, the group is sure to bring new fans to this music, and to the
trio’s unparalleled live show (see full itinerary below with US dates in bold), continuing a tradition Lambert began many years ago.
Laissez
courir les chiens by Yves Lambert Trio arrives in the US on June 24th, 2016. Yves Lambert
is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at
