Join us for a special double bill featuring Aleksi Campagne and Bagatelle—two standout voices in contemporary folk and acoustic music.

Named Roots Music Canada’s New Discovery of the Year, Montrealer Aleksi Campagne is a fiddle-singer that blends his folk songwriting roots with a multi-layered sound of voice, violin and looping-effect pedals. Aleksi won a 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for his bilingual album, which offers 10 songs in English & the same 10 songs in French. With rich vocals, virtuosic musicianship, and deeply expressive songwriting, Aleksi Campagne brings a fresh, genre-crossing sound that draws from folk, classical, and roots traditions. His performances are both intimate and powerful, connecting instantly with audiences.

Aleksi Campagne is uniquely qualified to offer a contemporary indie-folk take on the fiddle-singing tradition. Since he was five years old, he has performed alongside his mother, Canadian folk icon Connie Kaldor and his father Paul Campagne of the francophone band Hart Rouge. At 19, he moved to Paris to study under jazz violin legend Didier Lockwood. At 21, he became the only student to be accepted into the classical violin, jazz violin, and jazz voice performance programs at McGill University.

Bagatelle delivers a vibrant, family-rooted sound steeped in traditional French Canadian influences. With masterful playing and infectious energy, their music is both refined and joyful—guaranteed to lift the room. Bagatelle blends the rhythmic pulse of traditional Québécois music with the infectious energy of bluegrass. The band delivers a high-energy performance filled with tight harmonies and irresistible toe-tapping tunes. Whether it’s a foot-stomping reel, a heartfelt ballad, or a lively call-and-response song“ in French. Bagatelle brings a fresh yet deeply rooted sound that captivates audiences. With a repertoire that weaves together old-world melodies and modern bluegrass flair, this band is surely going to have you singing along!

Together, these artists will create a dynamic evening of storytelling, melody, and world-class musicianship.

Don’t miss this unique pairing of two exceptional acts sharing one stage.
