Catherine Major
Wednesday, Nov. 26
In 2008, Catherine will come to État d’Urgence bearing songs from her brand-new collection, Rose sang, tunes she says are “from the heart, and the gut.” True, for Catherine is not content with merely mouthing nice words; the lady lives what she writes about. She is spontaneous yet meticulous, soft yet powerful; her confessional compositions—she writes all the melodies and some of the lyrics—draw us into her world of soul-stirring emotions. Catherine is the recipient of the Prix Félix-Leclerc 2008 and of a Jutra for best film score for her work on Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette’s Le Ring.

Yves Lambert
Thursday, Nov. 27
Well-travelled troubadour Yves Lambert’s 32-year career has been a challenging one of risk-taking and adventure. In 1976, along with two partners in song, he formed the outfit La Bottine Souriante, which he stylishly helmed for 26 years through numerous tours, releases and acclaim. A big player in Quebec’s nu trad scene, the instantly recognizable “epicure with the hat” continues the adventure with the group he formed in 2004, the Bébert Orchestra.

Vulgaires Machins
Friday, Nov. 28
Three guys, one gal; a sprinkling of irony; heaps of self-deprecation; strong social and political awareness; raw, uncompromising lyrics; and punk, rock and ska influences: the recipe for Les Vulgaires Machins. In 2006, Guillaume Beauregard, Marie-Eve Roy, Maxime Beauregard and Patrick Landry released Compter les corps, whose poetic, thought-provoking lyrics and frenzied beats drew raves from all quarters and propelled the quartet to the forefront of Quebec’s musical scene, helping them garner the Songwriter/Composer of the Year, Best New Act, and Album of the Year – Alternative statuettes at the 2007 ADISQ awards gala.

Salive 0
Sunday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 PM
A delectable duo performing in the trip-hop, indie-rock, burlesque “tradition.” Two high-octane performers bringing a massive vibe. Two mysteriosos with a textured tinge. Coupling vim and vigour with shades of meaning, they reach for the stars and make contact. Vocal elegance, rhythm, and trance are the order of the evening with Salive. To fall under their spell is to want to never leave it.
