Fresh from Boston, where they played the day before, Los Angeles-based band Fitz and Tantrums, was one of the headlines that day of the festival. The group, whose tunes are somewhat reminiscent of the songs of the group Fun, had not played in Quebec since accompanying One Republic at the Videotron Center in February 2017, and were clearly happy to be back after many years.

The group, among the most anticipated, managed to gather a large crowd near the stage. Instead of calm and alert at the beginning of the service, it’s really one of help, the ninth theme song, that the audience became more energetic and energetic. The only downside to the performance, once we stepped back a bit from the front stage, singer Noel Skaggs’ voice was inaudible. The viewer had to get close to the stage to hear it.

Andy Grammer, the charismatic personality

After a brief performance by the electric musician from the Montreal Cree, it was the turn of another native of California, the much-loved Andy Grammer, to appear on stage for the first time on Quebec land. When he gave us a brisk hit on the ten stages of self-acceptance, he left some spectators a little bewildered, but as the performance progressed, the singer overpowered them all one by one, with songs that were catchy and cheerful. after the other. More than just an honorable mention of saxophonist Tomoka Nomura for her precision and solo rhythm in darling I’m fine. The group is making their first visit to Quebec, and it will be far from being their last, and Andy Grammer’s faith ensured their return.

A Journey Through the Stories of Kim Churchill

A dramatic change of energy occurred with Andy Grammer’s previous performance, with Australian Kim Churchill appearing on stage accompanied by only one trumpeter, Kipker Felix Cauchon. Each of his songs shared a story, some more touching than others, like RosemaryA love story between his grandmother in the hospital and the patient in an adjacent room.

There is no doubt that the Canberra-born artist seems to have really enjoyed his visit to the festival. After first touring the pop-up show at Archibald’s pub on Wednesday and performing on Sunday, the musician wanted to thank the audience again by going to greet them at the merchandise store. He is the only artist in the festival who has initiated this initiative.

Greetings to the First Nations with Portugal. the man

They live in a small town in Way, in Alaska, members of the Portugal group. Soon the man was informed of the facts of the aborigines. For their performance that ended the Cigale Festival, they asked Mr. Raymond Gros-Louis to bless the show so that people could enjoy good music.

“I love my new friends from the group whose name I can’t remember,” said Nation Elder Huron Wundat in Windake.

The ancestral allure seemed to have an effect, the American group put on a well-rehearsed show, musically strong, without going too far in seeking audience contact. There was a hitch on “Feel it Still,” the band’s most popular song, but the rest went smoothly. Honorable mention to bassist Zachary Carothers on The Wall, which was absolutely gorgeous.
