ÉMILE BILODEAU AU BAR DES ESPOIRS

Émile Bilodeau exudes sincerity and has found a way to conquer crowds for the past 10 years. He's delighted to bring the folk-rock gems of his new album Au bar des espoirs, in duo format accompanied by his loyal keyboardist Nathan Vanheuverzwijn.

In a cabaret atmosphere, the lucid chansonnier presents a show full of humour, social awareness and catchy melodies. Au bar des espoirs is driven by the idea that there is a fine line between hope and despair. He portrays an unhappy bartender who doesn't want to quit his job at the risk of becoming like the customers he likes to judge; then wonders what he might do if, by some misfortune, he were to lose his hearing....the whole told with a characteristic and playful temerity he is known for, with the simple goal of keeping us hopeful and smiling.
