The award-winning and highly acclaimed Quebecois band Le Vent du Nord takes the stage at the historic Boothbay Harbor Opera House on June 7.

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,” writes the Boston Herald.

Since its inception in August 2002, Le Vent du Nord has performed well over 2,000 concerts across four 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 from the North American Folk Alliance.

The group appears regularly on Canadian, American, French and U.K. television and radio, and participates in a wide variety of special musical projects. They’ve collaborated and performed with a diverse range of artists, including Harry Manx; Väsen; Dervish; The Chieftains; Breton musical pioneer Yann-Fañch Kemener; Québecois roots legend and master storyteller Michel Faubert; the Scottish folk band Breabach; singer Julie Fowlis; and the trans-Mediterranean ensemble Constantinople.
