Surrounded by his acolyte musicians Miriam Pilette (guitar), Sarah Dion (drums), Nathan Vanheuverzwijn (keyboards) and Simon Veillet (bass), and armed with a seemingly endless energy and enthusiasm, the lucid songwriter presents a show filled with humor, social awareness and catchy melodies. In a world where bad news strike us daily, how do we keep our hopes up? Stay the course? Smile? Émile Bilodeau offers part of the answer with this new show.
