Gab Bouchard

Gab Bouchard’s shows start and end with a big bangs, and in between are songs that are stitched together with country-folk, pop-rock and soul, all building up to a show that is elaborate and unrelenting, with acoustic moments and dynamic arrangements. On the strength of a series of festival gigs that ended with a packed concert at Club Soda in Montreal to end the tour for his first album Triste pareil, he recently performed a run of concerts to unveil his second release Grafignes. “On the first album we were complaining. Now we’re letting off some steam.”
