Tickets are on sale now at The Waldo for the award-winning, highly acclaimed band Le Vent du Nord in concert on Thursday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m.  

Le Vent du Nord is a leading force in Quebec’s progressive francophone folk movement. The group’s vast repertoire draws from both traditional sources and original compositions, while enhancing its hard-driving soulful music (rooted in the Celtic diaspora) with a broad range of global influences. Featuring button accordion, guitar and fiddle, the band’s sound is defined by the hurdy-gurdy, which adds an earthy, rough-hewn flavor to even the most buoyant dance tunes.  

Since its inception in August 2002, Le Vent du Nord has enjoyed meteoric success, performing well over 2,000 concerts over 4 continents and racking up several prestigious awards, including a Grand Prix du Disque Charles Cros, two Junos (Canada’s Grammys), a Félix at ADISQ, a Canadian Folk Music Award, and “Artist of the Year” at the North American Folk Alliance Annual Gala. On stage these 5 musicians create intense, joyful and dynamic live performances that expand the bounds of tradition in striking global directions.  

This is the modern sound of tradition, a music of the here and now. General admission tickets are available for $30 in advance and $35 the day of the event. To purchase tickets and for more information about The Waldo, parking and other upcoming events, please visit: thewaldotheatre.org.
